Owen Falls is located in Uganda. It is the world's largest man-made lake, holding 204,800,000,000 cubic meters of water, which is about 45 trillion gallons. The Owen Falls was a waterfall on the White Nile near the city of Jinja. In 1954, the Nalubaale Hydroelectric Power Station was completed, submerging the Owen Falls and the nearby Ripon Falls. The Nalubaale Dam, formerly the Owen Falls Dam, is 2,726 feet (831 meters) long and 102 feet (31 meters) high. It uses Lake Victoria as a reservoir. The dam was named after Dr. David Owen, the British foreign secretary at the time.
