Abstract:

Two giant dam projects are creating a new future for the Catawba and Yadkin rivers in Western North Carolina. Financed by Duke Power Company, a huge hydroelectric plant is under construction on the highly-developed Catawba River, creating the biggest lake in the State, Lake Norman. The Army Corps of Engineers is co-partnering with the town of Winston-Salem to construct a dam that will harness the Yadkin River.
