MORE ABOUT SHASTA DAM 
From the snow-covered slopes of majestic Mt. Shasta, 14,161 foot extinct 
volcano, come some of the waters conserved behind the great new Shasta 
Dam, world’s second largest concrete dam. 
_ Shasta’s function is to conserve the water flowing into the Sacramento, Pit 
and McCloud rivers during the winter and spring months, and to release 
this water during the summer months when it is needed for irrigation pur- 
poses. The regulation of the flow of water on the Sacramento River thus 
effectively controls floods in the winter and spring months, provides ample 
water the year around for electric power generation, and sufficient water 
the year around for irrigation of all lands now under cultivation in the great

Valley area, as well as enough water to irrigate an additional 500,000 acres 
not now under cultivation in the Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys. 
The Shasta Dam is of gravity type, with a curved axis, rising above the 
foundation 602 feet, higher than the Washington Monument. It is two-thirds 
of a mile long on top. Waters overflowing the huge spillway in the center 
of the dam will drop 480 feet, almost three times the height of Niagara Falls. 
4,400,000 cubic yards of earth and rock were excavated at the dam site; 
11,000,000 tons of sand and gravel were delivered by a unique conveyor 
belt, the longest one of its kind in the world; 6,500,000 cubic yards of con- 
crete were poured. The reservoir created behind the dam has a capacity of 
4,500,000 acre-feet of water; the surface area is 29,580 acres, and the lake 
that has been created behind the dam is 35 miles long.
