Prado Dam in Corona, California, is likely to receive more water than it can hold from incoming rainfall this weekend, according to Orange County Water District spokesperson Greg Woodside.

Located in San Bernardino County, the dam, which is owned and operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, supplies captured rainwater to the Santa Ana River, which is diverted to an underground water basin in Anaheim for Orange County and any excess then flows to the ocean.
