PENETRON ADMIX SB was mixed into the concrete to ensure an impermeable concrete matrix. The C-44 canal system now captures 65% of the average annual storm water runoff in the storm water treatment area. The reservoir will hold up to 50,600 acre-feet, or 16 billion gallons, of water at an average depth of 15 feet.
