Gallons

[edit]

Does anyone know how many gallons/liters it holds?

About 19 billion gallons on average. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 06:10, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

The subject article has an error. The Prettyboy Dam does flow into Gunpowder Falls. However, part of the page confuses 'Falls' with 'River.'

This can be excused, but for the reference that the river below the dam separates Baltimore and Harford counties.

It does not.

Gunpowder Falls is wholly within Baltimore County.

When Gunpowder Falls empties into the tidewater portion (just east of the US 40 bridge), it is then known as Gunpowder River. At that point, the 'river,' (again, the tidewater portion) does become the boundary between Baltimore and Harford counties.

To sum it up, Gunpowder 'Falls' is wholly in Baltimore County; Gunpowder 'River' is the boundary between Baltimore and Harford counties.
