Pine Flat Dam, Gravity dam and hydroelectric power station in Fresno County, United States
Pine Flat Dam rises 440 feet high on the Kings River, forming a reservoir with a storage capacity of 1,000,000 acre-feet of water.
The United States Army Corps of Engineers completed the construction of Pine Flat Dam in 1954 following extensive debates between irrigation and flood control advocates.
The dam creation led to substantial changes in regional agriculture patterns, transforming the Kings River Valley into a major agricultural production zone.
Three Francis turbines at the Jeff L. Taylor Power Plant generate 165 megawatts of electricity, supplying power to 47,000 households in the region.
The dam prevented catastrophic flooding during its first year of operation in 1955, validating its construction despite initial stakeholder disagreements.
