the decreasing reservoir levels all last year and the recent increases as well as improved snowpack have been in the news a lot, with stories several times per week in the SF Chronicle, LA Times and San Jose Mercury News, as well as on television news.

I share your criticism of the media, however, when it comes to these stories on water, your criticism is inaccurate.
