This is one of a series of thirteen
dams planned on the Brazos and
its tributaries, the primary purpose
of this and the other dams being
to prevent flood damage in the low-
er Brazos valley, which has at times
run into many million of dollars in
a single year; harnessing destruc-
tive flood waters and turning them
into practical benefits. The next|
dam will probably be built at De Reporter Want Ads Get Results

The dam will impound a reservoir
of 735,000 acre feet of water.
An acre-foot is 12 inches of water
over an area of one acre. If one
can visualize a tract of land of
735,000 acres covered with water
12 inches deep, that will give an
idea of the size of Possum Kingdom
Reservoir. And Possum Kingdom
take will have a shore line of ap-
i proximately 310 miles, will extend
from the dam to the city of Gra-
ham, and is to be one of the larg-
est artificial bodies of water in the
Southwest.
