Antero Reservoir is a reservoir in the US state of Colorado. It was created by the first dam placed on the South Platte River in Park County, central Colorado. It is owned by Denver Water and supplies drinking water to the greater Denver metro region almost away. ==History== Built in 1909, the earthen dam sat on a site believed by geologists to be a dry lake bed some 300 years old. This lake, named Green Lake, lies submerged in Antero Reservoir.〔http://www.denverwater.org/Recreation/Antero/〕 The Reservoir was closed in 2002 for five years due to drought. The lake went completely dry, and the Colorado Division of Wildlife, in concert with Denver Water resurrected it in 2007. The Colorado Division of Wildlife re-stocked the lake with rainbow trout, brook trout, cutbow, cutthroat trout, brown trout, and splake. In 2011, engineers began lowering the water level by two feet due to excess seepage. The dam has leaked since its construction, leading it to operate under state restrictions. Beginning May 1, 2013, Antero reservoir was supposed to have been drained because of drought conditions.〔(Denver Water 2013 )〕 It was not drained because of substantial snowfall in April 2013.〔http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/local-news/antero-reservoir-wont-be-drained-after-all〕 In 2013, a $17 million project to rehabilitate the dam began. The reservoir is expected to be drained in 2015 for necessary repairs. Re-filling should occur in 2016. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Antero Reservoir」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
