Simply put, it’s a lot of water, 8.8 trillion cubic metres to be precise.

The project was part of the Columbia River Treaty along with two other dams, the Mica and the Duncan, as well as the Libby in the United States:

The treaty allowed for the construction of dams to regu- late the flow of the Columbia

Although they have al ry done special purpose tours, B.C. Hydro ran public tours of Hugh-Keenleyside Dam for the first time last summer, with which Larsen hopes they will be able to continue.
