Reservoir Water Levels

Water is a scarce, critical, and dwindling resource in the West. In addition to supporting recreational activities in Curecanti, water provides power to millions of homes and is essential for our communities, for wildlife, and agriculture.

Reservoir water levels in Curecanti are maintained by the Bureau of Reclamation. Check each of the reservoir links for current levels.
