The image below shows the lake on May 16, 2023, (left) and the same date this year (right). The algal levels were significantly lower at this time last year, as evidenced by the clear change in ...
At the lake's peak level, the spillway can drain 48,400 cubic feet per second (1,370 m 3 /s), which occurs when the lake level rises to 15.5 feet (4.7 m) above the level of the funnel. Water spills over its lip when the lake reaches 1,602,000 acre-feet (1.976 km 3 ) and a reservoir elevation of 440 feet (130 m) above sea level.

The lake has a capacity of 185,000 acre⋅ft (228,000,000 m 3). A project to raise the lake 21 ft (6.4 m) was completed in 2004. A project to raise the lake 21 ft (6.4 m) was completed in 2004. The lake now impounds an additional 42,000 acre⋅ft (52,000,000 m 3 ) and downstream flood protection to downstream communities and agricultural land ...
A drive shaft system weighs more than a chain system, usually 0.5–1 kg (1–2 lb) heavier. Many of the advantages claimed by drive shaft's proponents can be achieved on a chain-driven bicycle, such as covering the chain and sprockets. Use of lightweight derailleur gears with a high number of ratios is impossible, although hub gears can be used.
[2]: 711 The size of this reservoir of Una Lake and these works can be seen on the 1915 U. S. Geological Survey, California, Lake Elizabeth Quadrangle, Topographic Map. [3] Subsequently, the dam was improved and the larger Harold Reservoir, later Lake Palmdale, was created in 1924.
