Total Dam Storage Capacity

Per

California County

 

The base map below shows the relative total dam storage capacity for each California county. A point for each California dam is superimposed, with size proportional to maximum storage capacity for each dam. Units are all in acre-feet; one acre-foot is the amount of water which will cover an acre, one foot deep. Note the concentration of dam water represented in Shasta and Trinity counties to the North, contained primarily in the very large Shasta and Trinity dams.
