Seneca Nation of Indian land within the Allegany Territory that was inundated with the construction of the Allegany Reservoir is only underwater for part of the year. Come Fall of every year, much of the bottom of the Reservoir has begun to dry up as the water reserves are lowered at the discretion of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. This seasonal lowering and emptying of the water reserves held within the reservoir leaves the land exposed and unprotected to weather elements, which in combination with the water fluctuations throughout the year, expediates the erosion of the shorelines and banks of Ohi:yo'. In addition, many of the shorelines along Ohi:yo' lack the needed plant growth, such as trees, to protect them from erosion. Pictured here is a wide shot that includes the Highbanks Campgrounds of the erosion along the shoreline of Ohi:yo'. plain 2018-08-03T15:58:43-07:00 Seneca Nation Archives Department 2018-07-16 stillimage A.600.039.0002a topography (attribute), riverbanks, mountain ranges, hills, ridges (landforms), banks (landforms), rivers, erosion Seneca-Iroquois National Museum eng The construction of Kinzua Dam and the Allegany Reservoir was completed in December of 1965.
