Madden Dam, completed in 1935, impounds the Chagres River in Panama to form Lake Alajuela, a reservoir that is an essential part of the Panama Canal drainage basin. The lake has a maximum level of 250 feet (76 m) above sea level. It can store one third of the canal's annual water requirements for the operation of the locks.
The reservoir has a surface area of 108 acres (44 ha) and receives water from a drainage area of 63.7 sq mi (165 km 2) on the north slope of the San Gabriel Mountains. [1] A formerly popular recreation spot, the dam, reservoir, and vicinity used to receive about 300,000 visitors each year, but since 2015, the facilities have been closed to the ...
The lake is a reservoir, formed by Lake Sherburne Dam, which held back Swiftcurrent Creek and was constructed between 1914 and 1921.

Twitchell Reservoir is a reservoir in southern San Luis Obispo County and northern Santa Barbara County in California. The reservoir has a capacity of 197,756 acre⋅ft (243,928,000 m 3 ) and is formed by Twitchell Dam on the Cuyama River about 66 miles (106 km) from its headwaters in the Chumash Wilderness Area.
The reservoir normally covers 3 sq mi (7.8 km 2) with a 215,000 acre⋅ft (265,000,000 m 3) capacity and 37 miles (60 km) of shoreline.
