Description
The old Don Pedro dam is no longer visible as the expansive waters of the new reservoir continue to rise. In the photograph much of the eventual 159 mile shoreline can be seen. The new Don Pedro is shown with the upper portion of its back side still visible. The road across the top divides the face of the dam from its rear with the growing water storage area. Note the three spillways visible on the lower left that will help regulate future excessive water in years of heavy rainfall and large snowmelts.
