Tujunga Reservoir and Dam | [ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ] |
Tujunga Reservoir from the Big Tujunga Canyon Road. Mount Lukens dominates the distance. January 20, 2008 Comments[ Post a Comment ] | lcarreau | Well ... | | 
Voted 10/10 | People have to get their water from
somewhere! What is the water level,
is it down in the reservoir? Do
you ever run into any Poison Oak? | | Posted Jan 23, 2008 7:07 pm |

Hasn't voted | Tujunga Creek flows eventually into the Los Angeles River which contributes very little to the LA water supply (most of the water supply comes via the aqueducts from the high sierra). This dam actually was built in 1931 as a flood control and water conservation project. I have no idea about the water level though. Poison Oak - oh yes, all the time. | | Posted Jan 23, 2008 7:23 pm |

Voted 10/10 | Looks like a lot of water would be coming
in from the Central Valley, via the Sacramento
and San Joaquin Rivers. I had fogotten that
LA is the second largest city, in terms of
population. Say ... have you ever been up
to Huntington Lake? Beautiful area! | | Posted Jan 23, 2008 7:44 pm |

Voted 10/10 | I remember in the mid 70's when the whole area washed out with mass flooding | | Posted Feb 24, 2010 4:11 pm |

Hasn't voted | Unfortunately, the Los Angeles River--into which the Big Tujunga flows--has no storage areas of note. All water flowing into the drainage flows directly out to sea. The contrast with the settling basin storage capacity of the San Gabriel River drainage is stark. | | Posted Dec 16, 2012 6:05 pm |
