The Loch Raven Reservoir is a reservoir that provides drinking water for most of Baltimore County, Maryland. Originally built in 1881 as a dam and water tunnel to channel water to Lake Montebello and Lake Clifton, the new dam was constructed in 1914 in efforts to increase the municipal water supply.[2] After the dam was built, the reservoir submerged the agricultural village of Warren.[2] In 1923, the dam was elevated from 52 to 240 feet (73 m), and was viewed by many as a step towards the re-vitalization of Baltimore after the Great Fire of 1904.[3] It is fed by the Big Gunpowder Falls river, and has a capacity of 23 billion gallons of water.[4] In addition to providing potable drinking water to Baltimore County, the lake serves as a park and recreational area for the public to enjoy.
