Alisal Reservoir, located near Solvang, California, was constructed in 1954 by the Santa Ynez River Water Conservation District to provide water for irrigation purposes.
The reservoir has a capacity of 4,600 acre-feet, and its water supply comes from the Santa Ynez River and its tributaries. The hydrology of the area is influenced by the Mediterranean climate, with most precipitation occurring in the winter months. The reservoir's water is used for agriculture, particularly vineyards, and also provides recreational opportunities such as fishing and boating. Specific surface flow and snowpack providers for the reservoir include the Santa Ynez River, Alamo Pintado Creek, and Zaca Creek. The reservoir plays an important role in the local economy and water management system.
