Red Bluff Dam is a dam in the Pecos River, situated about Script error: No such module "convert". north of Pecos, Texas. Its Red Bluff Reservoir was formed in 1936 by the dam construction, organized by the Red Bluff Water Control District to provide water for irrigation and hydroelectric power.Script error: No such module "Footnotes".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".
Planning and construction
A water user's association was formed to promote the dam in 1916, and surveying began in 1921. In 1924 the states of Texas and New Mexico agreed to allow construction, and in 1926 President Calvin Coolidge approved the plan. In 1927 the Red Bluff Water Control District was formed to manage the project from seven existing water districts. In 1934 the loan for construction was approved by the Public Works Administration. The dam was completed in September 1936, and started to supply water in 1937.Script error: No such module "Footnotes".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".
