Following is a list of dams and reservoirs in Texas. All major dams are linked below. The National Inventory of Dams defines any "major dam" as being 50 feet (15 m) tall with a storage capacity of at least 5,000 acre-feet (6,200,000 m 3 ), or of any height with a storage capacity of 25,000 acre-feet (31,000,000 m 3 ).
The top of the dam has a maximum elevation of 112.5 feet (34.3 m) above the N.G.V.D. and is 36 feet high in places. [4] The maximum storage capacity of the reservoir is 209,000 acre-feet (258,000,000 cubic metres ; 258 gigalitres ), [ 5 ] Combined with the adjacent Addicks Reservoir to the northeast, the total storage capacity is about 410,000 ...
