King, D L

This Monograph presents results of hydraulic model studies on the Bureau of Reclamation's Morrow Point Dam and Powerplant on the Gunnison River in southwest Colorado. Both the dam and powerplant structures are unique in the Bureau's 64-year experience in the development of water resources in the western United States. Morrow Point Dam will be the Bureau's highest concrete thin-arch dam with double curvature. This report, describing the application of hydraulic model studies to the design of the Morrow Point Dam and Powerplant, will interest engineers concerned with the design of large water control structures. It may also be use to the engineering departments of colleges and universities.
