Additional Description: The map shows the layout of the dam and power station, as well as other features of the hydroelectric project including the wastewater channel, fishway, drift boom, log boom, log sluice, and concrete dike. Water is channeled to the powerhouse through the forebay canal, which feeds the penstocks—the tubes that supply the turbines with water. The flow can be regulated by adjusting the head gates, which are lowered from the gate operating house on the top level of the powerhouse. Each turbine consists of double 36-inch water wheels, which are horizontally connected to the generators. After passing through the turbines, water leaves the station through the tail races at the lower level of the river.
