About Roosevelt
Theodore Roosevelt Lake is the largest reservoir in the Salt and Verde river system, the headwaters reservoir for the Salt River Project chain that supplies the Phoenix metro. It sits in the Tonto Basin northeast of Phoenix.
Theodore Roosevelt Dam was completed in 1911 as the first major project of the federal Reclamation program. The dam was raised by 77 feet in a 1996 modification, increasing the reservoir's storage capacity. Day-to-day operations are managed by the Salt River Project.
Daily storage and elevation values come from SRP's Daily Water Report. AZWx presents a percent-of-capacity readout. Releases flow into Apache, Canyon, and Saguaro reservoirs downstream and ultimately into the Phoenix-area Salt River canal system.
