Source Update/Project Outline[edit]

Fellow Wikipedians, I will be updating the Folsom Lake page as a part if my Environmental Studies course at Sacramento State.

Flood Control: Folsom Dam Folsom Lake's capacity is 1,010,00 acre-feet which is 11,450 acres in surface area. How much water can be stored at the lake? How long can that water be stored? With the new spillway, how much longer will there be construction?

Water Supply: Where does the water from Folsom lake come from? Where does the water go? Who does it supply?

Hydroelectricity: Hydroelectricity How much power is produced by the system? Where does this power go? Who uses the power?

Recreation: trails for hiking and horseback riding, picnicking, fishing, swimming, boating, water skiing, and camping. The areas to access, their hours of operation, boat launches. Trail list and Lengths, Fish species

Capacity of the Reservoir[edit]

After updating the dead link to usbr.gov and updating the capacity, I realized that the data on the Bureau of Reclamation's website in regards to the capacity seems to be inconsistent. I submitted a comment to USBR noting this discrepancy. For the time being, I have changed the capacity to 976,000 ac-ft, although 1,010,000 appears to be equally valid. mgoins (talk) 15:59, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
