Storage

Reservoirs

Ten reservoirs in the foothills, holding winter rain above the valley floor. What they release, and what they spill, arrives at the creek gauges below.

Ten Valley Water reservoirs plotted at their published coordinates; marker area increases with percent of published capacity currently stored.
All ten reservoirs at their sensor-feed coordinates. Larger square markers indicate a higher percentage of published capacity currently stored. All eleven polygons in Valley Water's published major-watershed layer are shown. The eleven published polygons do not exactly match the portal's five sensor groups and do not provide a boundary for every named creek.

Capacities are Valley Water's published figures. Anderson has been restricted since October 2020 under a federal seismic order, which is why its storage sits far below capacity.
