Brock Reservoir, reservoir in Imperial County, California, United States
Brock Reservoir is a water storage lake in California, built to supply agricultural and municipal areas in the surrounding region. It is enclosed by earthen dams and sits within a landscape of rolling hills.
The reservoir was built as part of California's water supply network to meet growing agricultural and municipal demand in the region. It is one of several storage points developed over many decades to manage water resources across the state.
The area around the reservoir is easiest to explore during daylight hours, when the terrain is fully visible. The ground near the water's edge can be uneven, so sturdy footwear is a good idea.
Like many reservoirs in California, the water level at Brock Reservoir can change noticeably through the year, so the shoreline can look very different from one season to the next. In dry summers, large stretches of the bank may be exposed that are otherwise submerged.
