Shasta-Trinity National Forest
Summary: The Shasta-Trinity National Forest is one of 18 national forests in the Pacific Southwest Region of the US Department of Agriculture-Forest Service. The eighteen national forests in California cover only 20% of the land in the State but produce almost half the State's runoff water. Because so much of California's water comes from the national forests, the health of our forest ecosystems and watersheds is critical. Many of California's national forests were created specifically to safeguard and preserve water supplies.

Shasta Dam
Summary: Shasta Dam is a curved concrete gravity structure with an embankment wing dam. It is located approximately 9 miles upstream of Keswick Dam. Shasta Dam serves to control floodwaters and store surplus water runoff for irrigation in the Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys, along with providing maintenance of navigation flows and conservation of fish in the Sacramento River Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta from intrusion of saline ocean water, provides water for industrial use, and generates hydroelectric electricity.
