Banning Dam, Gravity dam in California, United States.

Banning Dam rises 205 feet high and extends 700 feet along its crest, featuring a vertical upstream face and stair-step downstream design.

The construction of Banning Dam, completed between 1924 and 1926, forms part of the Los Angeles Aqueduct system under William Mulholland's supervision.

Engineers study Banning Dam's construction methods and safety protocols as a reference point for water infrastructure development in California.

Regular structural evaluations and maintenance procedures ensure the dam continues to function effectively within the regional water supply system.

The dam incorporates internal and foundation drainage systems to prevent destabilizing uplift pressures from compromising its structural integrity.
