COWANESQUE LAKE WATER STORAGE PROJECT In 1986, SRBC entered into a contract with the Army Corps of Engineers and purchased about 25,000 acre feet of water storage at Cowanesque for release during times of low flow. The water storage project also has enhanced the recreational opportunities at the reservoir by increasing the size of the water pool from 410 acres to 1,090 acres. This reallocation project was completed in 1990. Each year, since the completion of the water storage project, about 25,000 more people enjoy Cowanesque's recreational facilities.
