Lake Thunderbird

Lake Thunderbird is a reservoir located in Norman, Oklahoma. The lake was constructed between 1962 and 1965 for the purpose of providing municipal water to the nearby communities of Del City, Midwest City and Norman. It is formed by an earthfill embankment (dam) long and up to high on the Little River. In addition to being a source for drinking water, Lake Thunderbird's secondary uses include numerous recreational activities.
The lake is named for the Native American legend of the Thunderbird, a supernatural bird of power and strength. Many locals commonly refer to the lake as "Lake Dirtybird" due to the very murky lake water.
==Norman Dam==
The Little River valley was the subject of several Army United States Army Corps of Engineers studies in 1936 and 1947 for flood control. In 1953 the issue of water supply was raised among a council of local governments consisting of Norman, Midwest City, Del City, Moore and Tinker Air Force Base, and it was forecast that by the 1970s and 1980s the cities would be requiring all available water to meet municipal demand. A feasibility study in 1954 led to a plan report in May 1961, and construction began on Norman Dam in 1962.〔http://www.usbr.gov/projects//ImageServer?imgName=Doc_1305124609321.pdf〕
Oklahoma State Highway 9 was re-routed in 1963 from present-day Alameda Street to its current location, south of the lake. The dam and lake were completed in 1965 by the United States Bureau of Reclamation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher=US Bureau of Reclamation )〕 The earthen dam has a height of 144 feet and impounds 171,400 acre-feet of water.〔http://www.usbr.gov/projects/Project.jsp?proj_Name=Norman%20Project〕 The Bureau owns the dam, which is operated by the local Central Oklahoma Master Conservancy District.〔http://www.usbr.gov/projects/Project.jsp?proj_Name=Norman%20Project〕
