LAKE VALLEY RESERVOIR

YEAR OVER YEAR

Lake Valley Reservoir is located in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California, and it is a vital source of water for agricultural and recreational purposes. The history of the reservoir dates back to the late 1800s when it was constructed as a means of storing water for mining operations. Today, it is a popular destination for fishing, boating, and camping. The hydrology of the reservoir is primarily fed by snowmelt, and it is also supplied by several small creeks and streams that flow into the lake. The reservoir is also used to irrigate crops in the surrounding area, providing valuable water resources for agricultural activities. The snowpack in the surrounding mountains is a critical component of the reservoir's water supply, with snowmelt accounting for a significant portion of the water that flows into the lake.
