Map of California's interconnected water system, including all eleven reservoirs over 1,000,000 acre-feet (1.2 km 3) as well as selected smaller ones.. This is a list of the largest reservoirs, or man-made lakes, in the U.S. state of California.
Lake Tahoe inflow streams contribute 310,000 acre-feet (0.38 km 3) of the 530,000 acre-feet (0.65 km 3) of water that flows through Lake Tahoe every year. [2] The list, below, groups rivers and creeks that flow into the lake by their locations on the north, east, south and west shores, in a clockwise order.

The last time the lake was full was June 2019. The dam on the Truckee River in Tahoe City regulates up to 6 feet of storage, totaling 744,500 acre-feet on the lake, according to the USDA.
On the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada, Lake Tahoe received the most precipitation in 117 years of record-keeping, contributing to the fastest water level rise in the lake's history. [49] Increased outflow from Lake Tahoe contributed to flooding along the Truckee River through Truckee and Reno, Nevada. Lake Tahoe and most of the Truckee ...
The water year started on Oct. 1 and will continue through Sept. 30, 2024, according to the California Department of Water Resources. During this 12-month period, hydrologic records are compiled ...
This article lists lakes with a water volume of more than 100 km 3, ranked by volume. The volume of a lake is a difficult quantity to measure. [1] Generally, the volume must be inferred from bathymetric data by integration. Lake volumes can also change dramatically over time and during the year, especially for salt lakes in arid climates.
