This week, the majority of the state’s reservoirs have met or exceeded their historical averages.
California’s reservoirs are once again flush with water, thanks to a parade of storms that continues to bring punishing rain, fierce winds, unprecedented flooding and a record snowpack in the previously drought-stricken state.
All told, California’s reservoir system is at 64% of capacity, up from just 47% this time last year. For reservoirs along the rivers that feed into the Bay Area, the recent precipitation has brought them to 70% of capacity, compared to 50% one year ago. The soaking weather also prompted Gov. Gavin Newsom to ease some of the state's most stringent drought restrictions last week, increasing water deliveries to the State Water Project to 75% from 35% just a month ago. The move represents the highest allocation since 2017 and is a dramatic increase from the 5% amount that strained supplies for Californians over the last two years.
