It was constructed in the early 1900s as part of the San Joaquin River Hydroelectric Project. The reservoir is fed by the San Joaquin River and its tributaries, as well as by snowmelt from the surrounding mountains. This makes it an important source of water for irrigation and hydroelectric power generation in the Central Valley region of California. The reservoir also provides recreational opportunities such as fishing, boating, and camping. The area surrounding the reservoir is used for agricultural purposes, including growing crops such as almonds, grapes, and citrus fruit. The water levels in the reservoir are closely monitored and managed to ensure a reliable water supply for both agricultural and urban users.
