The reservoir has a capacity of 362,000 acre-feet and is formed by Prado Dam on the Santa Ana River. The dam is composed of rock-fill and has a height of 106 feet above the original streambed. It was built on the upper end of the Lower Santa Ana River Canyon, where there is a natural constriction in the river. It is below 2,255 square miles of the 2,450-square-mile Santa Ana River watershed. The dam was built by the United States Army Corps of Engineers and was completed in 1941.
