The New Cornelia Tailings dam in Arizona was constructed in the late 1930s as a part of the mining operations in the area.
The Pati Dam in India has a length of 1,050 meters and a maximum height of 34 meters. The reservoir formed by the dam has a storage capacity of approximately 48.84 million cubic meters of water.
The largest dam in Scotland is the Ben Cruachan Dam, which is part of the Cruachan Hydroelectric Power Station. It is located near Loch Awe and generates electricity by using water stored in an artificial reservoir.
Yes, the Three Gorges Dam may change over time due to factors such as aging infrastructure, sediment buildup in the reservoir, and potential maintenance or structural modifications. Environmental considerations and changes in water flow patterns could also impact the dam's operation and design in the future.
The construction of the Pati Dam started in 1991. It is located in Rajasthan, India, and serves various purposes such as irrigation, water supply, and hydroelectric power generation.
The Three Gorges Dam was built on the Yangtze River in China. It spans across the provinces of Hubei and Sichuan.
Construction on the New Cornelia Tailings Dam began in 1952 and was completed in 1956. It took a total of 4 years to build.

Canada-Syncrude Tailings Dam
New Cornelia Tailings of Pima County, Arizona is one of the largest mine tailings piles in the world: 7.4 billion cubic feet, the New Cornelia Tailings is often cited as the largest dam structure in the country, by volume (the tailings, waste material from the mining process, were heaped into a pile that created a holding structure for future tailings, some of which were deposited in a pumped slurry, thus the tailings pile is an "impoundment" or dam). The mine that produced the tailings, the 1.5 mile wide open pit New Cornelia Mine, is owned by Phelps Dodge, and is presently in limbo (shut down in 1983). A project to mine the tailings has been proposed. The next in size is the Fort Peck Dam, 21,430 ft (6,531 m) long and 250 ft (76 m) high, on the Missouri River, NE Mont.; one of the world's largest earth-filled dams.
