Oroville Dam, the tallest dam in USA.
I've been to Hoover Dam, another impressive construction.

"Oroville Dam is the tallest dam in the United States and is within the top twenty dams in the world for dam height and volume of dam materials. It is an earth-fill dam, stands 770 feet tall, is 6,920 feet (2,109 m) long, and holds 3,537,577 acre-feet (4.364 km³) of water. Construction started in 1961 and was completed in 1968, at a cost of $187.8 million; however, as a result of the multi-purpose nature of the dam (designed to provide water supply, flood control, power generation, and fish and wildlife enhancement), the total costs were $563.8 million.

Over the past 12 years the dam has saved an estimated $1.2 billion in flood damage to the surrounding area. "

"It was not known until 1975, when a magnitude 6.1 earthquake occurred near Oroville, that the dam sits on top of an active faultline. This caused serious questions to be asked regarding the Auburn Dam which was just beginning construction at the time and was never built as a result of the possible geologic risk."

"Hoover Dam, once known as Boulder Dam, is a concrete arch-gravity dam in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River, on the border between the U.S. states of Arizona and Nevada. When completed in 1936, it was both the world's largest hydroelectric power generating station and the world's largest concrete structure. It was surpassed in both these respects by the Grand Coulee Dam in 1945. It is currently the world's 38th-largest hydroelectric generating station.^[5]

This dam, located 30 mi (48 km) southeast of Las Vegas, Nevada, is named after Herbert Hoover, who played an instrumental role in its construction, first as the Secretary of Commerce, and then later, as the President of the United States. Construction began in 1931, and was completed in 1936, a little more than two years ahead of schedule. The dam and the power plant are operated by the Bureau of Reclamation of the U.S. Department of the Interior. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981, Hoover Dam was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1985.^[4][6]

Lake Mead is the reservoir created by the dam, named after Elwood Mead, who oversaw the construction of the dam."
