Powerhouse of the Chief Joseph hydroelectric dam on the lower Columbia River near Bridgeport Washington. This dam is one of multiple large hydroelectric dams on the Columbia River in Washington state. It supplies electricity to the power grid in the Pacific Northwest and is one of the larger hydropower dams in the United States. This image shows the powerhouse portion of the dam. The ""L"" shape of the dam and powerhouse allowed the Corps of Engineers to extend the powerhouse and thereby provide room for more power generators - 27 to be exact.

Gatun Lock in the Panama Canal December 1999 before United States returned sovereignty to Panama. The Panama Canal locks is a lock system that lifts a ship up 85 feet (26 metres) to the main elevation of the Panama Canal and down again. It has a total of six steps (three up, three down) for a ship's passage. The total length of the lock structures, including the approach walls, is over 1.9 miles. The locks were one of the greatest engineering works ever to be undertaken when they opened in 1914.

Members of the 200th Red Horse Squadron from the Ohio National Guard out of Mansfield are working together with the 139th Battalion Support Brigade from the South Dakota National Guard in providing potable water for those in need in the municipality of Comerío, Puerto Rico, after Hurricane Maria disrupted all utilities leaving the Island with no water or electrical power, October 16. The Red Horse Squadrons job is to purify the much needed water to be consumed by the people and the team from the 139th BSB provides the transportation of the precious liquid to the distribution points. Today, the operation got a temporary set-back when torrential rains started to turbid and flood the La Plata River dam area where they had set-up operations making it grow more than 30 feet wide and forcing the two teams to halt operations and convoy toward a safe location nearby. From there theyll carry on with their continuous efforts to provide clean water and its transportation to those in need. (

The Corps of Engineers of the U.S. Army operates and maintains Bonneville Dam, situated about 40 miles east of Portland. The Engineers constructed the dam under an act of Congress to improve the Columbia river. The transmission and save of the 518,400 kilowatts generated at Bonnevile are under the supervision of the Secretary of the Interior, through the Bonneville Power Administration, Portland. This stillness is deceptive. The quiet waters are not a sign of inactivity. They indicate the maximum use of the falling Columbia River. April 16, 1947. (Photo by Wide World Photos).
