HUBBARD RESERVOIR was created in 1902 by Daniel Hubbard, as a means to improve farmland irrigation in the area. In 1911, the reservoir was purchased from Daniel Hubbard by the Bureau of Reclamation. The reservoir is operated and maintained by the Boise Project Board of Control as a reregulating facility for irrigation water deliveries in the adjacent area and it provides emergency short-term storage for dewatering the New York Canal should a failure in the canal occur downstream.
