Owl Creek Unit Bighorn Basin Division: Pick-Sloan Missouri Basin Program
Since its inception in 1902, the Reclamation program has been one of learning. Each project yielded lessons that could be applied to later projects with the goal of constant improvement. Some of those lessons have resulted in some of the most important engineering advancements of the twentieth century and have influenced dam construction and design worldwide. Reclamation as contributed significantly to the science of dam construction in many areas including concrete composition, structural analysis, and geologic investigations. But sometimes even the best science can not spot all potential problems or predict all that could go wrong, and the most promising projects can be rendered almost worthless. This is nowhere more evident that in the Owl Creek Unit of the Pick-Sloan Missouri Basin Program.
