Discharge Pipes With Grand Coulee In Background (Coulee Dam irrigation pumping plant and discharge pipes) Item Info

The exposed portions of the pumping plant discharge pipes gleam brightly in the sun with their coat of aluminum paint. Symbolic of the entire Columbia Basin Project--this picture shows Coulee Dam holding back the waters of the Columbia River forming Lake Roosevelt. The water there held, is now awaiting only the pump installations to start the water flowing through these pipes and to the thirsty acres of the project 60 to 150 miles south of the dam.
