The one present at Lake Berryessa is the "morning glory spillway" - named after its resemblance to the morning glory flower. The USBR owns and operates this spillway where when water rises over 440 feet above sea level, the lake spills over the morning glory, funnels down the cone and exits into Putah Creek - the other side of the Monticello Dam.
The reservoir completely inundated Monticello (though the city's ruins are visible at low water levels), and flooded 20,700 acres (8,400 ha) of the surrounding Berryessa Valley. At the time, Lake Berryessa was the second-largest volume reservoir in California, after Shasta. The Bureau of Reclamation operates five recreational areas around the ...

Most of the lands are below the level of the canal and are served by gravity. Lands above pump water straight from the canal. The canal ends at Terminal Dam, which is made from earth-fill. The dam forms a small 119 acre-foot (147,000 m 3) reservoir called Solano Lake. This reservoir supplies drinking water to the city of Vallejo. Most of the ...
