Lake Arrowhead (California) Sedimentation Survey Data
Lake Arrowhead Sedimentation Survey Data. The primary purpose of this type of survey is to determine the present storage-elevation relationship of the reservoir and possible change in storage due to sedimentation. Lake Arrowhead is associated with Lake Arrowhead Dam. Reservoir sedimentation surveys typically contain a survey report, area-capacity (ACAP) table, and geospatial data.

Location Description
Lake Arrowhead and its dam, located in the San Bernardino National Forest in San Bernardino County, are on Little Bear Creek about 30 miles northeast of Fontana and about 65 miles northeast of Los Angeles in southern California. Lake Arrowhead was formally known as Lake Little Bear with initial development in the 1890’s to provide a diverted water supply for the San Bernardino area. These diversions never materialized and the completed reservoir was renamed Lake Arrowhead, becoming a resort community. The recreational use of the reservoir is controlled by the Arrowhead Lake Association (ALA). The Lake Arrowhead Community Services District (LACSD) withdraws water from the reservoir for treatment and distribution to local residents for potable use.
