Silver Lake, also known as Silver Lake Reservoir, is a local government-owned water supply reservoir located in Los Angeles, California. Completed in 1976, this earth dam structure stands at a height of 43 feet and has a hydraulic height of 34 feet, with a length of 760 feet. With a storage capacity of 2020 acre-feet, it serves as a crucial water source for the surrounding area.

Managed by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) under the Safety of Dams program, Silver Lake is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the state to ensure its safe operation. The dam's condition was last assessed as satisfactory in September 2017, with a high hazard potential due to its location near Tr Ballona Creek. Although the risk assessment and management measures are not explicitly mentioned, the reservoir's emergency action plan (EAP) is up to date, meeting guidelines as of December 2018.

Even though Silver Lake does not have associated structures or locks, its primary purpose remains water supply. With a surface area of 77 acres and a drainage area of 0.12 square miles, the reservoir plays a vital role in providing water to the residents of Los Angeles. As a key component of the local water infrastructure, Silver Lake continues to be a significant asset in the ongoing management of water resources and climate-related challenges in the region.
