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.
The dam that forms Lake Henshaw is the only one directly on the river itself. However, tributaries in the river's watershed are extensively dammed. The San Luis Rey River has natural river banks, except for the last 7 miles (11 km) where it flows through a 400-foot-wide (120 m) earthen channel with levees to prevent stormwater from flooding Oceanside.

Water level elevation in the lake is maintained at a maximum of 280 feet (85 m) above sea level, 35 feet (11 m) lower than the dam's maximum of 315 feet (96 m) spillway to ensure safe operations. [3] The lake level can fluctuate significantly, depending upon the amount of runoff received from the San Dieguito River drainage basin. [ 4 ]
At 100.6 square miles (261 km 2) in size, the Santiago Creek watershed makes up about 3.6% of the entire 2,400-square-mile (6,200 km 2) Santa Ana River watershed - but makes up about 65.7% of the 153.2 square miles (397 km 2) of Santa Ana River watershed within Orange County, and 10.6% of 948-square-mile (2,460 km 2) Orange County.
