It creates Lake Moomaw, which has a normal volume of 40 billion US gallons (150,000,000 m 3). The dam serves flood control and recreational purposes and is operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. [2] The Gathright Dam's intake tower contains nine portals that allow it to release water between reservoir depths of 12 to 87 feet (3.7 to 26.5 m).
Over geologic time sea level has fluctuated by more than 300 metres, possibly more than 400 metres. The main reasons for sea level fluctuations in the last 15 million years are the Antarctic ice sheet and Antarctic post-glacial rebound during warm periods. The current sea level is about 130 metres higher than the historical minimum.

Image showing sea level change during the end of the last glacial period. Meltwater pulse 1A is indicated. Meltwater pulse 1A (MWP1a) is the name used by Quaternary geologists, paleoclimatologists, and oceanographers for a period of rapid post-glacial sea level rise, between 13,500 and 14,700 years ago, during which the global sea level rose between 16 meters (52 ft) and 25 meters (82 ft) in ...
The winter months are a crucial time of year for California's water supply. It is the state's wet season, the time to stockpile water for the drier months that run from the spring into the fall.
GRDA said it proposed the new water level targets based on grid demands, market conditions and public interest. But according to the LEAD Agency, nearly 1,500 homes along the rivers and ...

On May 7, the lake was at 114% of its historical average level. The so-called bathtub ring that clearly outlined the lake in 2022 — so stark it was visible from space — had disappeared by 2024.
