Friant Dam Designated Defense Project, Construction Finds Natural Gains

California's Great Prion Dam, located across the San Joaquin River, is a National Defense Agency project aimed at accelerating hydroelectric power production and irrigation for essential food cultivation. Engineers utilize natural resources, including a unique powdery substance, to enhance the dam's concrete, making it resistant to earthquakes. The project is expected to generate two billion kilowatts of power and irrigate two million acres, significantly contributing to agricultural productivity.
