Gavins Point serves as the southern most of the six main stem dam projects on the Missouri River basin system. At the end of June 2011, the dam was releasing an historic 160,000 cubic feet per second of flood water through its spillway and power house. The large amount of water actually represents only a fraction of what the dam was designed to pass through its gates in an extreme flood event. Thankfully, there are no plans nor any conditions currently present that would require higher releases. Video by Kevin Wingert, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Omaha District.
