The reservoir it creates, Blackfoot Reservoir, has a water surface of 18,000 acres (7,300 ha), and a maximum capacity of 413,000 acre-feet (509,000,000 m 3).

The Snake River Aquifer is a large reservoir of groundwater underlying the Snake River Plain in the southern part of the U.S. state of Idaho. Most of the water in the aquifer comes from irrigation recharge. Measuring about 400 miles (640 km) from east to west, it is an important water source for agricultural irrigation in the Plain.
An artificial lake, it was created in 1932 with the completion of the Owyhee Dam. [5] The lake supplies water for irrigation for 1,800 farms covering 118,000 acres of land in Eastern Oregon and Southwestern Idaho. [6] Seasonal Lake Owyhee State Park is located on the northeast shore and includes a boat ramp. [7] [8]
