Here are the numbers to these lakes:
2,5,6,10,13,14,15,16. This is it, there are no more. There are 8 lakes numbered to equal 45 or "September" 11, 2019 (423)....BAM. So 8 and 9 are the relevant numbers here. I find it noteworthy that these lakes are near or around highways 8 and 89 and 311 and 65 as is Walnut Cove and Danbury.
Building a reservoir is a huge undertaking, especially the larger it is. No one would ever build a lake for no purpose, especially if it was built by the government. Why are these lakes here? They are numbered but there are numbers missing from the sequence.
Here are the purposes for reservoirs to be built:
Flood control: (none of these dams can control floods as their spillways are...uncontrolled spillways and earthen dams). Unless the water gets too high, all the spillway will do is save the dam from eroding away. Flood control with reservoirs does not work anyhow...they just tell you it does. Once a bathtub is completely full, one drop will go over the top..it is really this simple.
Power generation: None of these reservoirs can generate power
Drinking water: None of these lakes are used for drinking water. They might could be, I don't know, but they are not and why would they be for drinking water they are so spread out. These reservoirs make sense for only one purpose...CONTROL THE FLOOD
Recreation: None of these reservoirs are for public or private recreation (property owners adjacent to the lakes can fish and boat in them, but it is not advertised to the general public...there is no public access to these lakes) From my understanding they were built between the 50's and 70's but it is hard to find out anything about these mysterious reservoirs.
