Melting snow in the spring would cause the Sacandaga and Hudson Rivers to flood the cities and towns they passed through. Because of the damage that these floods caused it was determined that something had to be done and the final idea was to build a dam that would provide a place for the flood waters to be held back in the spring and then let out slowly throughout the year. A general plan was approved to create the Sacandaga Reservoir and to build the Conklingville Dam in the 1920s.
