The Prado Dam and Reservoir, Riverside and San Bernardino Counties, California
Abstract
An investigation has been conducted to compile a history and evaluation of the Prado Dam and Reservior. The study sets forth the geologic, political, and engineering considerations which influenced the choice of location prior to construction, and which still influence the operating balance between the primary purpose of flood control and more recent concerns for water conservation. The bidding process, construction, and operations are described. Assessed according to the criteria for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places, the dam and reservoir are deemed a significant cultural resource. (eg)
