In 1970, a dam was constructed on the Trinity River near Livingston, Texas, in partnership between the Trinity River Authority (TRA) and the City of Houston, to create a water supply for Houston and the surrounding area. The resulting reservoir is called Lake Livingston. In 2021, the R.C. Thomas Hydroelectric Plant was built at the Lake Livingston Dam and provides 124 million kilowatt-hours of electricity to East Texas residents and businesses. The dam on the Trinity made navigation along the Trinity impossible and forever changed the Bedias watershed. | Creator: Photographer unknown, but affiliated with the East Texas Electric Cooperative. | Date: Image was created around the time of the RC Thomas Hydroelectric Plant dedication, which was Nov. 11, 2021. | Source: East Texas Electric Cooperative https://www.etec.coop/news/2021/11/12/co-op-flips-the-switch-on-clean-energy-at-lake-livingston-dam | Rights: Image available on the Internet and included in accordance with Title 17 U.S.C.
