Earthfill barrier, designed by U S Bureau of Reclamation for municipal water supply for 11 Texas cities, features large-scale earthmoving and precision concrete construction; methods and equipment used in construction of dam are described; most unique feature designers faced was presence of filled chimneys, which extend from ground surface to depths of hundreds of feet; diameters of chimneys range from 5 to 100 ft; geologists believe these chimneys were formed when underground water dissolved sizable gypsum in lower strata.
