And the only real last man standing area of drought is the region where I live in Santa Barbara and S to SE and we are expecting snow tomorrow in the Mountains 3-6 inches hopefully. I believe once we down here complete the saturation we are getting now the state will be truly out of the woods. Then the whack job, kool aid drinking fascists can scream all they want. But we already have taken care of the north of the state drought and closing in. Appreciate the post.

Ummm No.

Not that simple.

It would take many years for what you call "saturation" minus evaporation) to measurably raise the water table.

In fact, recharge wells exist to allow more than the first few feet below the surface to become saturated. 500 to 1000 feet is more efficacious.
