Current reservoir levels: https://cdec.water.ca.gov/reportapp/javareports?name=rescond... Snowpack is not an irrelevant statistic. Gradual melt from snowpack is what flows into reservoirs. 10% of avg snowpack now means significantly less gradual resupply as we head into summer. “ Snowpack accounts for the much of California’s water source and storage, because early spring snowpack “contains about 70 percent as much water, on average, as the long-term average combination of the major and ‘other’ reservoirs” (Dettinger and Anderson, 2015).” - https://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2016/3062/fs20163062.pdf |
