The New Waddell Dam is an embankment dam on the Agua Fria River in Maricopa County, Arizona, 35 miles northwest of Phoenix. It serves as part of the Central Arizona Project while also providing water for the Maricopa Water District. The dam creates Lake Pleasant with water from the Agua Fria and also the CAP aqueduct. In addition, it affords flood protection, hydroelectric power production and recreational opportunities. Construction on the dam began in 1985 and ended in 1994. Its reservoir submerged the Old Waddell Dam which was completed in 1927 after decades of planning.
