The lake holds 3.5 million acre feet of water which is now full. They can’t release water faster than is coming into the lake. They are trying to stay ahead of the game and are one storm away from catastrophe

The emergency is an ongoing train wreck. The snow pack is 170% of normal and heavy flows can occur over the next 6 weeks or more. A large storm in a few days if wet could pour a lot more water into a lake they can’t release water fast enough. This will be DWR trying to stay ahead of the game.
