TERMINUS DAM
Reservoir Levels • Weather • Hydrology
Terminus Dam, located in the Kaweah River Canyon of California, was built in 1962 and has a capacity of 53,900-acre feet. It was constructed to control flooding and provide irrigation water for the surrounding agricultural land. The dam is managed by the Kaweah Delta Water Conservation District and receives its water from surface flow and snowpack from the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The Kaweah River, which is the primary tributary to the dam, provides water to several irrigation districts, including the Tulare Irrigation District. The dam also provides water for recreation activities such as fishing and boating. However, in recent years, the dam has faced challenges due to drought and the overuse of groundwater, leading to a reduction in water supply for agriculture and recreation.
