Canyon Lake, AZ Drained

So do they just store the water in a big warehouse somewhere?

That's kinda crazy to think they have that much control over such a large body of water. Neat pics.

What's sad is that they drained that amount of water, bit yet many parts of the country are in sever drought, but I know it had to be done

Whats on the dam side of the lake that they drained it into?
