There’s a very dangerous low head dam in DC area just upstream of chain bridge. It is used to divert water for drinking. Fortunately clear warning signs on the water have prevented any recent fatalities, but there were a number in the past.

Yeah, I’m sure there are several in the greater metro area outside DC proper. Drownings on the Potomac seem pretty common
