Article expanded out of stub status (113 words) to more than 813 in a single day. Prose flows well. Good continuity. The hook's one source is offline, but found other sources in article that verify the whole sentence and placed links to those refs there also. Both claims are verified (first pumped storage and first concrete face rock fill dam). Hook is short enough. Couldn't find the estimated date of completion for 2011 in those sources though (not in hook, but in first para). Did not find any evidence of close paraphrasing. Article meets requirements for
verifiability, though wouldn't mind seeing more
secondary sources. Also, requirements for
WP:NPOV are met. Article has lots of figures embedded in the prose, especially in the "Design and operation", and this is fine. The few specs that I saw in the sources matched those in the article or were very close (multiple studies were done so I'm sure varied information exists).
