Los Vaqueros

Los Vaqueros is a large, multi-purpose reservoir and water supply system in California, designed to provide reliable water for communities, agriculture, and the environment. It captures and stores water from rivers, especially during periods of high flow, to ensure a steady supply during dry times. The project also offers flood control, recreational opportunities, and environmental protection. Managed collaboratively by water agencies, Los Vaqueros helps balance water needs while conserving resources and supporting ecological health across the region.
