Each dam operates by creating a pond, from which water bypasses part of the river to funnel through turbines before flowing back into the riverbed.

First, the dam was not operating at 175 m for the most time of the year 2008, thus the water flow though the dam has less potential energy to produce electricity.

The Maryland Department of the Environment water appropriations permit under which the dam operates, which is renewable, will expire on January 1, 2018.

The dam has always operated as a dry dam, holding back water only during a flood and releasing it slowly downstream.

All nuclear power plants and most hydroelectric dams are operating with their highest levels of security, with beefed-up patrols.

The dam operates with six generators, using the great power of the Niger River to generate enormous amounts of electricity.

The dam will be both developed and operated by a Korean company, KTC Cable.

Both arroyos are ephemeral, and so the dams operate only during storm events.

Currently, the two hydroelectric dams, Inga I and Inga II, operate at low output.

The dam operated for several decades, until the mines closed.
