new surface water storage facility on the San Joaquin River

Temperance Flat Reservoir would be a new surface water storage facility on the San Joaquin River, above Friant Dam and below Kerckhoff Dam north east of Fresno.

Water would be released from Temperance Flat Reservoir to Millerton Lake for canal diversion and/or release to the San Joaquin River.

Operating criteria could be influenced by ecosystem needs in the reservoirs, recreation opportunities, hydropower generation, and flood control requirements. ย Reservoir sizes considered in studies ranged from 460 thousand acre-feet (TAF) to about 2.8 million acre-feet in gross storage capacity.
