Taltson River

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Taltson River is a roughly 500-kilometre (310 mi) river in the Northwest Territories of Canada. It flows into the Great Slave Lake and ultimately reaches the Beaufort Sea through the Mackenzie River. Eight reservoirs, Nonacho, Taltson, King, Lady Grey, Benna Thy, Kozo, Twin Gorges, and Tsu, impound the river to generate hydroelectric power.[1] The average flow from 1960 to 1995, measured at a gauge at Tsu Lake Dam, was about 200 cubic metres per second (7,100 cu ft/s). The drainage area above the dam is about 58,700 square kilometres (22,700 sq mi).[2]
