How California’s major reservoirs compare to water levels this time last year
Several moisture-laden storms supplemented water levels at many of California’s major reservoirs last month, though some still fall behind by comparison to this time last year. A bomb cyclone brought dangerous weather conditions across the Pacific Northwest last month, causing power outages for more than a half-million people and killing at least two. Several atmospheric rivers pummeled California at about the same time. … The deluge contributed to a sudden rise in several California reservoirs, including Lakes Shasta and Oroville, the state’s two largest reservoirs. The California Department of Water Resources (DWR) publishes a daily graphic depicting the performance of 17 of the state’s major reservoirs.
