The reservoir it creates, Lake Lowell, has a normal surface area of 16 square miles (41 km 2), and a maximum capacity of 169,000 acre-feet (208,000,000 m 3). [2] Its surface elevation is approximately 2,520 feet (770 m) above sea level. The Boise Project was among the first undertaken by the Reclamation Service after its formation in 1902.
