Henshaw Reservoir is located in San Diego County, California, and was constructed in 1923 by the San Diego Flume Company. The reservoir is fed by the Santa Rosa Creek and the San Luis Rey River, which are important sources of water for agricultural use in the region. Henshaw Reservoir also stores water for recreational purposes, including fishing and boating. The hydrology of the area is influenced by the seasonal precipitation, and the snowpack in the mountains, which melt and run into the reservoir. The surface flow is monitored by the San Diego County Water Authority and the California Department of Water Resources. The reservoir also serves as a habitat for several species of fish and bird.
