North Dam, Embankment dam in Grant County, United States.
North Dam stretches 1,400 feet across the ancient Grand Coulee riverbed, reaching a height of 145 feet with protective features against strong winds.
The construction of North Dam, completed in 1951, marked a significant phase in developing the Columbia Basin Project's water management infrastructure.
The dam forms Banks Lake with Dry Falls Dam, supporting the regional agricultural development through the Columbia Basin Project's irrigation systems.
The structure maintains Banks Lake at 1,570 feet elevation, storing 1,275,000 acre-feet of water for distribution through the feeder canal system.
North Dam connects to a feeder canal that enables water transfer between Banks Lake and the pump-generating plant at Grand Coulee Dam.
