What is "twin falls"

Twin Falls can refer to:

The Twin Falls are a pair of waterfalls, high, that are located on the Unknown River, a tributary of the Churchill River that drains the central Labrador basin and flows into Lake Melville and the Atlantic Ocean. Hydroelectric power development rights on the river were acquired by the British Newfoundland Development Corporation (Brinco) in the 1950s. In partnership with Wabush Mines Limited and the Iron Ore Company of Canada, the two mining corporations operating in Western Labrador, Brinco created the Twin Falls Power Corporation to deliver power west to the two mining operations being developed near the Labrador-Quebec border.

Construction of the Twin Falls power station began in 1960 and was located at the base of a high dry river canyon adjacent to the Unknown River. The river was dammed at Twin Falls to form a reservoir (Ossokmanuan Reservoir), raising the water to the height of the old channel's escarpment. When finished in 1963, the station had a total capacity of 225 MW with two long transmission lines at 230,000 volts (or 230 kV), with remote switching at the far end from the station. It was a masterpiece of hydroengineering constructed at a cost of $47.5 million (1963).

Twin Falls power was essential to the later power development at Churchill Falls. It helped open up the area and supplied the power required during the construction phase of the project. In the planning stage, however, it became apparent that greater efficiency in the production of electricity could be achieved by diverting the flow of water from the Ossokmanuan Reservoir into the Smallwood Reservoir. Utilizing this water at the Churchill Falls plant enabled approximately three times as much electricity to be produced from the same volume of water. In July 1974 the Twin Falls plant was closed and the water diverted into the Smallwood Reservoir under an agreement with Churchill Falls Labrador Corporation Limited (CFLCo).

The Twin Falls ( Aboriginal: Gungkurdul) is a cascade waterfall on the South Alligator River that descends over the Arnhem Land escarpment within the UNESCO World Heritagelisted Kakadu National Park in the Northern Territory of Australia. The Twin Falls area is registered on the Australian National Heritage List.

Twin Falls is a waterfall on the South fork of the Snoqualmie River, off exit 34 on I-90 in the Olallie State Park. Twin Falls features a well-hidden underground run-of-the-river hydroelectric project that generates 24 MW of electricity. The powerhouse is located 325 feet below ground.

Twin Falls is a waterfall on the Snake River in southern Idaho in the Snake River Canyon. The falls is a few miles east of its namesake city, Twin Falls. It is upstream of Pillar Falls and Shoshone Falls. Twin Falls is downstream from Milner Dam. Water flow over Twin Falls is controlled by dams used for irrigation and hydroelectric power generation.

Twin Falls is an indie electronic band from Somerset, England. Revolving largely around Luke Stidson, who previously ran the record label Exercise1 Records. The band has released two EPs and two full-length albums. Their debut album Slow Numb was self-released on 12 September 2011. The Lead single "Janie I will Only Let You Down" was play listed on BBC Radio 1, BBC 6Music, and BBC Radio Bristol throughout 2012. The single release included a remix by New York electronic artist A Million Billion. The follow up 'May All Your Dreams Be Full Of Light' arrived in 2013. The band also appeared live at the 2013 Glastonbury Festival on the BBC Introducing Stage.

In March 2013 Luke was involved in a dispute with US musician Chris Carrabba over the use of the Twin Falls name. After a lengthy article that Stidson posted online was shared by a large number of people on Twitter, including radio presenter Tom Robinson, Carrabba's act stopped any legal action and changed their name.
