The Mulholland Dam is a Los Angeles Department of Water and Power dam located in the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles, California, east of the Hollywood Freeway.Designed with a storage capacity of 7,900 acre⋅ft (9,700,000 m 3) of water at a maximum depth of 183 feet (56 m), the dam forms the Hollywood Reservoir, which collects water from various aqueducts and impounds the creek of Weid Canyon.

Upstream of the actual reservoir is likely to be a pre-dam , which typically have a constant water level so the head is reinforced.
