| sherman reservoir lac de retenue du barrage Sherman
Explanation:
Je n'ai trouvé aucune référence au barrage Sherman en français, à l'exception d'une série de liens relatifs au jeu Grand theft auto, où il existe bien un barrage Sherman fictif basé sur le Hoover dam.
Comme le "Sherman reservoir" jouxte le barrage, il me semble logique de traduire par "lac de retenue".
"Sherman Reservoir, Nebraska
Sherman Reservoir
Sherman Dam, located on Oak Creek, was completed by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation in January, 1962. Sherman Reservoir stores off-season water flows for release during the irrigation season. A facility of the Middle Loup Division of the Nebraska-Kansas Project, the dam creates a reservoir with 65 miles of shoreline, 69,076 acre feet of storage, and a surface area of 2,878 acres. Approximately 50,000 acres of Nebraska farmland are served by this reservoir."

Grand Theft Auto
"3) Le barrage Sherman se trouve au nord de Las Barrancas, vrai ou faux ?"

"Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas takes place within the fictional state San Andreas, which is based on sections of California and Nevada. It comprises three major fictional cities: Los Santos corresponds to real-life Los Angeles; San Fierro corresponds to real-life San Francisco; and Las Venturas and the surrounding desert correspond to real-life Las Vegas and the Nevada and Arizona desert.[16] Players can climb the half-mile (800 m) tall Mount Chiliad (based on Mount Diablo), parachute from various peaks and skyscrapers, and visit 12 rural towns and villages located in three counties: Red County, Flint County, and Bone County. Other notable destinations include Sherman Dam (based on the Hoover Dam), a large secret military base called Area 69 (based on Area 51), a microwave dish, and many other geographical features. San Andreas is 13.9 square miles (36 square kilometers),[21] almost four times as large as Vice City, and five times as large as the GTA III rendition of Liberty City. While its predecessors' areas were limited to urban locations, San Andreas includes not only large cities and suburbs, but also the rural areas between them."
