Oroville Dam spans the Feather River about 5 miles (8.0 km) northeast of the city of Oroville, California. It forms Lake Oroville, which stores water for irrigation, flood control, municipal water supply and hydroelectricity generation in California's Sacramento Valley. The dam lies in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, and at 770 feet (230 m) tall, is the tallest dam in the United States. It powers the third largest hydroelectric plant in California, after the Castaic and Shasta Dams.

- Der Oroville-Staudamm befindet sich am Feather River in der Sierra Nevada nordöstlich der Stadt Oroville im Butte County in Kalifornien, USA. Er staut den Lake Oroville auf, erzeugt Elektrizität und versorgt Zentral- und Süd-Kalifornien mit Trink- und Bewässerungswasser. Die Stauanlage fungiert auch als Pumpspeicherkraftwerk und dient außerdem dem Hochwasserschutz und der Freizeiterholung. Der Staudamm und der Stausee sind Teil des "California State Water Project". Die Fischleiter bzw. Fischaufstiegsanlage sind interessante Stellen, an denen man im September und Oktober die Lachswanderung beobachten kann. Der Oroville-Staudamm ist noch vor dem Hoover-Staudamm die höchste Talsperre in den Vereinigten Staaten und unter den 20 größten der Welt hinsichtlich Bauwerkshöhe und Dammvolumen. Der Staudamm ist ein 235 m hoher und 2.317 m langer Zonen-Erddamm, der 4,364 km³ (=Milliarden m³) Wasser zurückhält. Die Bauarbeiten begannen 1957 mit Straßenverlegungen und waren 1968 mit der Einweihung vollendet. Seit 1975, als ein Erdbeben mit einer Magnitude von 5,7 bei Oroville auftrat, weiß man, dass der Staudamm auf einer aktiven geologischen Verwerfung gebaut wurde.

- Oroville Dam spans the Feather River about 5 miles (8.0 km) northeast of the city of Oroville, California. It forms Lake Oroville, which stores water for irrigation, flood control, municipal water supply and hydroelectricity generation in California's Sacramento Valley. The dam lies in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, and at 770 feet (230 m) tall, is the tallest dam in the United States. It powers the third largest hydroelectric plant in California, after the Castaic and Shasta Dams. Consensus for the dam started in the early part of the 20th century with the growing irrigation needs of the Central Valley. The Feather, Sacramento and other rivers flow through the vast basin, providing water for thousands of acres of fertile farmland. However, California's unreliable precipitation caused serious droughts in some years and severe floods in others. During the Great Depression in the 1930s, plans for two federal water management projects, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' California State Water Project (SWP), and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation's Central Valley Project (CVP), arose. During surveys in the 1950s, Oroville and Shasta Dams were identified as key facilities for water management in California, because of their capability to control the flow of California's largest river system, the Sacramento. Oroville became the primary feature of the State Water Project, and construction started in 1961. In 1964, a major flood tore through the Oroville Dam site, further demonstrating the need of the project; one year later, a massive train crash occurred along the rail line used to transport materials to the dam site. Despite damages, the dam was finished in 1968, creating the second largest reservoir in California (after Shasta). Despite its multiple benefits, the dam has heavily hurt the ecosystem of the Feather River, especially because it blocks migrations of chinook salmon and steelhead trout, which once thrived in great abundance in the Sacramento watershed. Construction of the dam has also reduced the flow fluctuations between spring and autumn in the Feather that once were responsible for rearranging sediments and clearing old growth on the riverbanks; it has indirectly led to environmental impacts by promoting heavy development of agricultural and urban areas.
- La presa de Oroville es una presa sobre el río Feather por encima de la ciudad de Oroville en el condado de Butte, California, Estados Unidos. Crea el lago Oroville, genera electricidad y proporciona agua para beber y la irrigación del Valle Central de California y el Sur de California. La presa, el lago, y otras instalaciones son propiedad del estado de California Department of Water Resources quien lo administra y forma parte del Proyecto Hídrico del estado de California (SWP).
- Orovilledemningen er en demning som danner en kunstig innsjø i elven Feather River i Butte County (California), USA. Jordfyllingsdemningen er 235 meter høy og 2,317 meter lang. Innsjøen som demmes opp er Lake Oroville på 64 km², og installert kapasitet i vannkraftproduksjonen er 780 MW som utnyttes i Edward C. Hyatt vannkraftverk. Anlegget var ferdig i 1968 og ligger ved foten av Sierra Nevada, hvor det bidrar til å forebygge flom. Anlegget forsyner også midt- og sør-California med drikkevann
