Talk:Gavins Point Dam

Untitled
Gavins Point Dam story is very interesting. The site has a high tech visitors building that presents video presentations about how the dam came about. It explains the history of the flooding that occured along this mighty stretch of the Missouri. My great great uncle Michael J. Gavin was a prominent farmer and land owner for which the hallowed site was named after for history. This site became twained as Gavins Point by navigators which moved their boats of freight and grain on the Missouri. My father (Edward Gavin) told me what little he could remember about his uncle Michael, but one thing was for sure, uncle Michael would bring he and his three siblings (Leonard, Bernard and Francis) the largest bag of Hershey Chocolates he had ever seen.

2011 Flood on Missouri and Gavin's Point Dam
The caption under the photograph of Gavin's Point Dam states that the record releases water over several days resulted in the 2011 Missouri Flood.

Suggested rewording: The dam releasing a record 150,000 cubic square feet of water/second on June 14, 2011 as a result of the 2011 Missouri River Floods. The release was more than twice the previous record in 1997.

 * Good point. I reworded the caption.--NortyNort (Holla) 01:03, 20 June 2011 (UTC)


 * The unit of measure, "cubic square feet of water/second" is incorrect. "cfs" is just "cubic feet/second".  I will change the caption. SBaker43 (talk) 09:10, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
