(

• ... that the Gibraltar Dam was built on the Santa Ynez River to impound 14,500 acre-feet (17,900 dam³) of water, but about half of the reservoir's capacity has been lost due to siltation?

• Comment: Not a self-nom, and has absolutely nothing to do with Gibraltarpedia. --PFHLai (talk) 20:05, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
