Hoover Dam, in Blendon Township, near Westerville, Ohio, dams the Big Walnut Creek to form the Hoover Memorial Reservoir. This reservoir is a major water source for the city of Columbus, Ohio. It holds 20.8 billion US gallons (79,000,000 m3) of water and has a surface area of 3,272 acres (13.24 km2), or about five square miles. The dam was dedicated in 1955. It was named for two brothers, Charles P. Hoover and Clarence B.

Alum Creek Dam which was constructed between 1970 and 1974 is located on Alum Creek, a tributary of Big Walnut Creek, which drains into the Scioto River. The dam is a rolled earth-fill embankment 10,000 ft (3,000 m) in length with a maximum height of 93 ft (28 m) The spillway is located high on the right abutment with the raceway dropping off in front of it to the stilling basin below.
