In the summerof 1912, following the remarkably dry winter of1911-1912, the reservoir would still be about %full. The relation between the catchment area square miles and the storage in the Cala-veras Reservoir is almost ideal, as, even exclud-ing the surplus water, about 921/2 % of the totalrun-off is conserved. Rarely is such an exten-sive and favorable reservoir site available belowsuch a large and productive catchment area andin such proximity to a metropolis.
