California Reservoir Status

2. not that it's been measured yet

but snow pack is probably more important than reservoirs

We have way more rain fall this winter than any recent winter... but snow conditions... not only up top, but also how low it goes (needless to say there is way more snow storage capacity at lower elevations).

That water is what will recharge the ground water and fill the reservoirs in the spring.

I fear we need maybe two more years of "El Nino" events to get out of the drought.

If it doesn't get cold enough to save the snow pack until April, May, and June... none of this matters... we can't build enough reservoirs to save the central valley farms plus the urban populations (and their yards).
