Tulloch Reservoir is located near Knights Ferry, California, and was created in 1955 by the Oakdale Irrigation District. The reservoir stores water from the Stanislaus River and provides hydroelectric power to the surrounding areas. The surface flow comes from the Stanislaus River and snowpack from the surrounding mountain ranges. The water from the reservoir is mainly used for irrigation purposes for the local agricultural industry. The reservoir also provides recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and camping. However, in recent years, the water levels have been significantly reduced due to prolonged droughts and increased water demands. Consequently, the reservoir's capacity to provide water for both agriculture and recreation has been impacted, and there have been discussions about the need for more sustainable water management practices.
