Sites Reservoir Water Storage Project

under construction

The Sites Reservoir project is a water storage infrastructure initiative in California designed to hold up to 1.5 million acre-feet of water, enough to supply more than 4.5 million homes for a year. It aims to capture water from the Sacramento River during wet seasons and store it for use during drier periods, addressing water supply challenges due to climate change. The project is the second-largest off-stream reservoir in the U.S. and is part of California's broader water infrastructure strategy.
