    Nicasio Reservoir is a shallow, artificial reservoir in the Nicasio Valley region of Marin County, California. It covers 845 acres (3.42 km2) and sits in a 35.9 square miles (93 km2) drainage basin. It was created by the construction of Seeger Dam on the Nicasio Creek in 1961. Seeger Dam is a 115-foot (35 m) tall, 400-foot (120 m) long earthen dam. The Marin Municipal Water District forced the displacement of many farms, including the McIsaac family farm and the Tomasini Ranch. Controversy stems from the fact the water from the reservoir is rarely used by the Water District, that the broad and shallow nature of the reservoir leads to quick evaporation, and that the dam has blocked valuable spawning areas for endangered coho salmon and threatened steelhead trout. Construction of Seeger Dam wiped out the salmon population in Nicasio Creek. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicasio_Reservoir
