The Wachusett Dam in Clinton, Massachusetts, completed in 1905, impounds the Nashua River to form the 65‑billion‑gallon Wachusett Reservoir, a major water‑supply source for metropolitan Boston. This granite gravity dam regulates downstream flow and maintains stable reservoir levels that support long‑term regional water‑resource management.
