I think "List of dams and reservoirs in the United States" or "List of dams and their reservoirs in the United States" would be far better titles--ID as a list, and match the format of the content. I'll probably do it sometime if I don't see/hear any objections. Niteowlneils 02:57, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC)

There are 52 entries because it includes Puerto Rico, and there are 18 dams w/o a state, or for which the data columns got messed up and which confused the automated count I used.  That would bear further investigation before putting into the article.  In any case, we can now tell the Okies that Oklahoma does not have the most of any state, though it is ranked up there at #5.  --Kbh3rdtalk 08:05, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: I think so perhaps with a brief note giving the conditions of the breaching.  Dam removal for fish habitat being the most popular right now, at least on the West Coast.  —EncMstr (talk) 03:47, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
