According to the 2004 TVA River and Reservoir Operations Study, Watauga Lake is approximately 16.3 mi (26.2 km) long, with 104.9 mi (168.8 km) of shoreline. At the TVA summertime water level target "full pool", the lake surface covers 6,430 acres (26 km²) and the estimated depth of Watauga Lake is 265 feet (81 m) at the dam.
Watauga Dam is located 37 miles (60 km) above the mouth of the Watauga, at a point where the westward-flowing river veers north to slice a water gap through the middle of Iron Mountain. The dam is about 5 miles (8.0 km) downstream from Butler, Tennessee , and 10 miles (16 km) upstream from Elizabethton.
Lake Tahoe is the second deepest lake in the U.S. In terms of area covered, the largest lake in California is the Salton Sea, a lake formed in 1905 which is now saline.It occupies 376 square miles (970 km 2) in the southeast corner of the state, but because it is shallow it only holds about 7.5 million acre⋅ft (2.4 trillion US gal; 9.3 trillion L) of water. [2]
Therefore, mean depth figures are not available for many deep lakes in remote locations. [9] The average lake on Earth has the mean depth 41.8 meters (137.14 feet) [9] The Caspian Sea ranks much further down the list on mean depth, as it has a large continental shelf (significantly larger than the oceanic basin that contains its greatest depths).
This is a list of the largest reservoirs, or man-made lakes, in the U.S. state of California. All fifty-three reservoirs that contain over 100,000 acre-feet (0.12 km 3) of water at maximum capacity are listed. This includes those formed by raising the level of natural lakes, such as at Lake Tahoe.
Nearly 3 miles below Watauga Dam, on the Horseshoe section of the Watauga River, is the TVA Wilbur Dam, which forms a much smaller but very deep reservoir known as Wilbur Lake. TVA releases approximately 130 cubic feet per second (3.7 m 3 /s) of discharged water back into the Watauga River during the summer months. [6]
Map of water storage and delivery facilities as well as major rivers and cities in the state of California. Central Valley Project systems are in red, and State Water Project in blue. California's interconnected water system serves almost 40 million people and irrigates over 5,680,000 acres (2,300,000 ha) of farmland. [1]
The slack water extends upstream to the vicinity of Estill Springs. It is then bridged by U.S. Route 41A . Backwaters of the Tims Ford project also extend into the nearby town of Winchester , county seat of Franklin County, even though the main channel of the Elk runs to its west, bridged by State Route 130 .
