Mount Morris Dam

Mount Morris Dam is a large concrete structure in New York designed to control water flow and prevent flooding in the region. Built on the Genesee River, it creates a reservoir that stores excess water during heavy rains. This helps manage river levels, protect communities, and ensure a steady water supply for irrigation, recreation, and power generation. The dam also improves water quality and flood safety by releasing water slowly downstream, reducing the risk of sudden floods and erosion. Its construction enhances regional infrastructure resilience while maintaining the natural environment.
