Los Vaqueros Reservoir Expansion

摘要

The Contra Costa Water District (CCWD) was formed in 1936 and is responsible for the provision of clean, safe water to approximately 500,000 residents of Contra Costa County in Northern California. The Los Vaqueros Dam was constructed by the CCWD in 1998 to create the Los Vaqueros Reservoir. The Los Vaqueros Watershed is located near Brentwood, California and encompasses nearly 20,000 acres of open space around the Reservoir. Not only is the Watershed a recreation area for hiking, fishing, and other outdoor activities, it is also a cattle and sheep grazing area, and serves as home to many rare and endangered species such as the golden and bald eagles as well as the San Joaquin Kit Fox.
