Reservoir Storage raw data could be downloaded from two sources; USDA and USBR. There is some overlap between them. It is important to mention that USDA provide data more completely with longer period and coverage. 
For the GSL basin, USDA provides data for 19 reservoirs that listed below:

Bear Lake.txt
Causey Reservoir.txt
Deer Creek.txt
East Canyon Reservoir.txt
Echo Reservoir.txt
Grantsville Reservoir.txt
Hyrum Reservoir.txt
Jordanelle Reservoir.txt
Lost Creek Reservoir.txt
Montpelier Reservoir.txt
Pineview Reservoir.txt
Porcupine Reservoir.txt
Rockport Reservoir.txt
Settlement Canyon Reservoir.txt
Smith And Morehouse Reservoir.txt
Utah Lake.txt
Willard Bay.txt
Woodruff Creek.txt
Woodruff Narrows.txt

All raw text files downloaded from https://nwcc-apps.sc.egov.usda.gov/imap .  

USBR provides data in csv format and could be downloaded from https://data.usbr.gov/rise-map/ . This database provides data for 14 reservoirs listed below:

Causey Reservoir.csv
Deer Creek.csv
East Canyon Reservoir.csv
Echo Reservoir.csv
Hyrum Reservoir.csv
Jordanelle Reservoir.csv
Lost Creek Reservoir.csv
Lost Lake.csv
Newton Reservoir and Dam.csv
Pineview Reservoir.csv
Rockport Reservoir.csv
Trial Lake.csv
Washington Lake.csv
Willard Bay.csv

There is some overlap( Lost Creek, Washington Lake, and Trial Lake are not covered by the USDA). So we have data for (19 from USDA/USBR + 3 just from USBR) 22 reservoirs in the GSL basin.
