The Nimbus Dam is a base load hydroelectric dam on the American River near Folsom, California. Approximately 8,700 acre-feet (10,700 dam3) of water is retained by the dam. It is responsible for the impoundment of water from the American River to create the Lake Natoma reservoir. The dam stands 87 feet and spans 1,093 feet. The Nimbus powerplant consists of two generators. Each generator produces enough electrical power to power over 200,000 100-watt light bulbs, about 15,500 kilowatts of electrical power. Nimbus Dam consists of 18 radial gates, each with their own gate bays. These 18 gates today are the ones that were completed in 1955 along with the rest of the dam. Of the eighteen gates, four of them have had their coating system replaced. This protects the gates from a faster rate of co

  • Nimbus Dam je vodní nádrž nacházející se ve městě , asi 20 km severovýchodně od hlavního města Sacramento v severní Kalifornii ve Spojených státech. Její přítok zajišťuje řeka American. Hráz zadržuje přibližně 10 700 000 m3 vody, čímž vytváří jezero Natoma. Dílo je součástí projektu Central Valley, který měl zajistit protipovodňovou ochranu Sacramenta, výrobu elektřiny a kontrolovat zásobování vodou. Nimbus byla navržena v roce 1949 jako regulační nádrž pro přehradu Folsom, která leží několik kilometrů proti proudu řeky American. Její výstavba započala v roce 1952 a dokončena byla v roce 1955. Výška hráze je 27 m a délka 333 m. (cs)
  • The Nimbus Dam is a base load hydroelectric dam on the American River near Folsom, California. Approximately 8,700 acre-feet (10,700 dam3) of water is retained by the dam. It is responsible for the impoundment of water from the American River to create the Lake Natoma reservoir. The dam stands 87 feet and spans 1,093 feet.

Nimbus Dam consists of 18 radial gates, each with their own gate bays. These 18 gates today are the ones that were completed in 1955 along with the rest of the dam. Of the eighteen gates, four of them have had their coating system replaced. This protects the gates from a faster rate of corrosion. The other fourteen gates have the original coating. As part of the Central Valley Project (CVP), a federal water project that provides irrigation and municipal water to much of California's Central Valley, it was authorized in 1949 as a regulating reservoir for Folsom Dam, and a diversion pool for the Folsom South Canal. Construction began in 1952, and it opened in 1955. (en)
