A fact from Searsville Dam appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 3 August 2010 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Searsville Dam, built in 1892, currently provides no drinking water, flood control, nor hydropower, but rather it irrigates Stanford University's golf course?

Controversial

I should point out that the continuing existence of Searsville Dam is a controversial topic and this article is so far only presenting one point of view (another is that after 120 years of existence there are now many species that are dependent on the lake as it exists).[1] --Erp (talk) 13:07, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
