It also has the largest storage capacity of the SRP lakes with the ability to store 1,653,043 acre-feet (2.039 km 3) of water when the conservation limit of Roosevelt Dam is reached. When the dam is in flood-control mode, the lake can store 2,910,200 acre⋅ft (3.590 km 3 ) of water; [ 2 ] [ 3 ] however, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ...

The river rises as two forks in the White Mountains of mid-eastern Arizona, in Apache County. The West Fork starts in a valley on the north flank of Mount Baldy at an elevation of nearly 10,000 feet (3,000 m), while the East Fork starts nearby.
