(18:26)  SAN LUIS  RESERVOIR – The  reservoir  that  is  the  primary  water  supply  for  Silicon  Valley  is  only  at  10  percent  capacity.   The  San  Luis  Reservoir  is  located  along  Highway 152….not  far  from  Highway 5,  and  it’s  one  of  the  nation’s  largest  off-stream  reservoirs.     It’s  also  the  5th  largest  reservoir  in  the state.   Even  though  it  received  the  most rain  in  the  last 5  years  this  past  winter,  the  water  that generally  flows  to  it  from  other  waterways  has  been  diverted  for  other  uses.
