Tennessee Valley Authority. Construction of Douglas Dam. Inside the cofferdam of TVA's new Douglas Dam on the French Broad River. This dam will be 161 feet high and 1,682 feet long with a 31,600 acre reservoir area extending forty-three miles upstream. With a useful storage capacity of approximately 1,330,000 acre-feet this reservoir will make possible the addition of nearly 100,000 kilowatts of continuous power to the TVA system in dry years and almost 170,000 kilowatts in the average year
