Newton Reservoir is located in Cache County, Utah and was constructed in 1963 to provide irrigation water to nearby agricultural areas. The reservoir has a capacity of 10,000 acre-feet and is fed by several small streams as well as snowpack runoff from the surrounding mountains. The hydrology of the reservoir is closely monitored by the Utah Division of Water Resources to ensure proper management of both agricultural and recreational uses. During the summer months, the reservoir is a popular spot for boating and fishing. The surface flow of the reservoir is regulated to provide consistent water levels for irrigation purposes. The snowpack from the surrounding mountains also contributes to the reservoir's water supply, with the highest snowfall typically occurring in the winter months.
