Note: These statistics are based on inventoried dams. Because the inventory is incomplete in many areas, areas with a high number of dams may simply represent areas that have a more complete inventory.

47,433 dams were not analyzed because they could not be correctly located on the aquatic network or were otherwise excluded from the analysis.
