Abstract
Conchas Dam and Reservoir, one of the largest water resources projects in the Southwest, build under the supervision of Corps of Engineers, is located below the confluence of the Conchas River and South Canadian River, near Tucumcari, New Mexico. Although it is the source of water supply for the vast Tucumcari Irrigation Project of the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, its main purpose is flood control. Conchas Dam exerts a tremendous influence on the economy of the northeastern portion of Texas. To a hydraulic engineer its large size and complex hydraulic features present a most challenging field for study and research
