List of dams and reservoirs in the Harz
In the Harz mountains, there is a higher than average number of dams with their associated reservoirs. The reason is that the Harz is one of the regions with the heaviest rainfall in Germany and so its water power was utilised very early on. The first dam (on the Upper Harz Ponds) was built to drive water-powered pumps and stamp mills used in the mines. At present, the Harz reservoirs provide hydroelectricity, drinking water and flood protection particularly when the snows melt in spring. The following is a list of dams in the Harz:
