Terminus Dam, Hydroelectric dam in Tulare County, United States.
The Terminus Dam spans 2,375 feet across the Kaweah River, reaching a height of 255 feet to form Lake Kaweah in California.
The United States Army Corps of Engineers completed the construction of Terminus Dam in 1962 following the authorization by the Flood Control Act of 1944.
The construction site of Terminus Dam revealed numerous Native American artifacts, which the National Park Service preserved before the excavation began.
The dam generates 36 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually through its 20-megawatt hydroelectric facility, serving local agricultural and residential needs.
The dam incorporates the largest fusegates in the world, which automatically open when water pressure reaches specific levels during flood conditions.
