Additional Details:
In June 1948 the Columbia River, always high in early summer, reached its greatest flow since 1894. At that time five hundred eighty-four thousand cubic feet of water (about 16,000 tons) poured over the spillway of the Grand Coulee Dam every second. In the future more of the summer surplus will be stored up stream for use in winter.
