Arizona - Lake Powell: Glen Canyon Dam forms a fascinating water reservoir - a bizarre lake in the desert

            The 710-foot /220 m high dam was built by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) from 1956 to 1966 and forms Lake Powell, one of the largest man-made reservoirs in the U.S. with a capacity of 27 million acre feet / 33 km3. The dam is named for Glen Canyon, a series of deep sandstone gorges now flooded by the reservoir.
