The Hoover Dam, originally known as Boulder Dam, has a maximum total water storage capacity of 28,945,000 acre-feet. This is the capacity of Lake Mead, the reservoir formed by the dam. The dam itself is 726.4 feet high and has a power plant with a capacity of 2,080 megawatts. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
• Total Storage Capacity: Lake Mead, the reservoir created by the Hoover Dam, can hold approximately 28.9 million acre-feet of water. [1, 1, 3, 3]
• Active Capacity: The active capacity, which is the amount of water available for release, is 15,853,000 acre-feet, according to Wikipedia. [1, 1]
• Inactive Capacity: The inactive capacity, which is the water below the lowest outlet and not available for release, is 10,024,000 acre-feet. [1, 1, 6]
• Hoover Powerplant Capacity: The power plant at Hoover Dam has a capacity of 2,080 megawatts, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). [5, 5, 7, 7]
• Spillway Capacity: The spillways on either side of the dam can each discharge 200,000 cubic feet per second, according to the Bureau of Reclamation. [8, 8]
• Outlet Works Capacity: The outlet works can bypass the turbines and release water at a rate of 52,200 cfs at a specific elevation. [2, 2, 9, 9]
