Shasta Dam served an important role in World War II providing
electricity to California factories, and still plays a vital part in the
management of state water resources today. However, it has brought
about major changes to the environment and ecology of the Sacramento
River, and met with controversy over its significant destruction of
Native American tribal lands.
