Constructed as part of the federal San Antonio Channel Improvements Project (SACIP), the Espada Dam was designed and built to maintain a base flow to the Spanish Colonial Dam on the west bank while also permitting flood flows to overtop the dam and flow directing down the improved flood channel. The impoundment behind the dam was named Davis Lake.
