Grand Coulee Dam - How It Works

PUD 3 Conservation Manager Justin Holzgrove takes us on a behind-the-scenes tour of Grand Coulee Dam in Eastern Washington. He describes the hydroelectric process and details the impressive construction of the dam, as well as the many energy and non-energy benefits it provides to the region.
This video was recorded with an Apple iPhone 5 and it was very windy up on the dam!

Ive always wanted to visit that dam i think it is a great engineering marvel

[@adventureanglingpnw1821]

It's a good dam. Just it messed up the salmon and steelhead runs that used to go up that river. That dam has no fish ladder and it sucks. I would love to see those fish come back to areas that were native to those fish long ago.

Women built this., designed it, invented the technology for it, dreamed it up, dug it, poured the concrete, . Yup , a shit ton of chicks done that. Pink-haired ones.
