Reservoir Levels • Weather • Hydrology
San Vicente Reservoir is located in Lakeside, California, and was constructed in 1943 to provide drinking water for the city of San Diego. It has a capacity of 242,000 acre-feet and is a key component of the region's water supply system. The reservoir is fed by the San Vicente Creek and the Santa Maria River, with surface water primarily provided by the Colorado River via the Colorado River Aqueduct. It also receives snowpack runoff from the Cuyamaca Mountains. The reservoir is used for water supply, hydroelectric power generation, and recreational activities such as boating and fishing. It also supports agricultural uses in the surrounding areas through irrigation. In recent years, the reservoir has been expanded and modernized to improve its water storage capabilities and earthquake resistance.
