Upper Chiquita Reservoir Floating Cover and Liner
The Upper Chiquita Reservoir is a large potable water reservoir located in Rancho Santa Margarita in Orange County California. The reservoir contains 244 million gallons of domestic water and covers an area of 18 acres. The reservoir was constructed on the western slope of the Chiquita Canyon by creating an earthen dam across the canyon. The reservoir is lined and covered with geosynthetic barrier materials with a defined-sump style cover. This case history details the construction of the reservoir lining and cover system including some of the unusual design details caused by the shape and size of the project. The paper also covers the difficulties caused by the excessive rainfall and the solutions to a leakage issue that developed after construction.
