JEMEZ CANYON RESERVOIR
Reservoir Levels • Weather • Hydrology
Jemez Canyon Reservoir is a man-made lake located in the Jemez Mountains of New Mexico. The reservoir was created in 1957 by the construction of a dam across the Jemez River. The hydrology of the area is dominated by monsoon rains and snowpack melt. In particular, the Valles Caldera National Preserve is an important surface flow provider to the reservoir, as well as the surrounding snowpack.
The reservoir is primarily used for irrigation purposes, providing water to the surrounding agricultural communities. Additionally, the reservoir is a popular recreational destination for fishing, boating, and camping. The Jemez Canyon area is rich in cultural history, with evidence of human habitation dating back over 10,000 years. Today, the area is managed by the US Forest Service and is an important natural resource for the region.
