40 percent of the water for NID's lower division, about 43,400 acre-feet (0.0535 km) per year. Further downstream is Camp Far West Dam, which forms the largest reservoir on the river at 104,500 acre-feet (0.1289 km). The reservoir provides for both flood control and irrigation in the lower valley of the Bear River. Another mile downstream lies Camp Far West
Diversion Dam, the final dam on the river, which diverts 124,500 acre-feet (0.1536 km) per year into the South Sutter and Camp Far West Canals to irrigate about 64,000 acres (26,000 ha) of the Sacramento Valley. About 80 percent of the South Sutter irrigation district is planted with rice.

The reservoir stores water for irrigation and hydroelectricity, and serves the important purpose of trapping sediment from early hydraulic mining activity in the upper Bear River basin.

The remaining water in the Bear River flows downstream to Lake Combie, which holds about 3,500 acre-feet (4,300,000 m). The Van Giesen Dam, which forms the lake, is the oldest dam on the Bear River proper, completed in 1928. The dam diverts water into the Combie
