(KRON) — After weeks of atmospheric rivers, bomb cyclones and Pineapple Express moisture, California reservoir levels have seen a steep rise.
On Sunday, the National Weather Service shared an infographic from the Department of Water Resources, which laid out just how much California’s reservoirs have filled after weeks of heavy rain.
While none of the major reservoirs are at capacity – in fact, many are still less than half full – many are at or above their historical average for this point in the rainy season. Oroville, for example, is at 54% capacity, but 99% of where it usually is in mid-January....

Northern California reservoirs: Shasta : 51% of capacity, 82% of historical average Trinity : 29% of capacity, 49% of historical average Sonoma : 59% of capacity, 101% of historical average Oroville : 56% of capacity, 101% of historical average New Bullards Bar : 79% of capacity, 124% of historical average Folsom : 51% of capacity, 119% of historical average
Santa Clara County, Spillways have been opened at: Coyote Reservoir : 111 percent full Uvas Reservoir : 105 percent full Almaden Reservoir : 104 percent full Lexington Reservoir : 103 percent full Chesbro Reservoir : 94 percent full, its spillway was activated on Monday
Central California: Camanche — 73% of capacity, 122% of historical average New Melones — 36% of capacity, 64% of historical average Don Pedro — 72% of capacity, 103% of historical average McClure — 50% of capacity, 110% of historical average Pine Flat — 44% of capacity, 119% of historical average Millerton — 82% of capacity, 148% of historical average San Luis — 43% of capacity, 63% of historical average
Southern California reservoirs: Cachuma — 84% of capacity, 130% of historical average Casitas — 37% of capacity, 51% of historical average Castaic — 54% of capacity, 70% of historical average Diamond Valley — 61% of capacity, 84% of historical average
This wil help generate revenue to pay for reparations.
The hope from here is that we have a typical Feb/Mar/Apr. Our snow pack is already well above what we typically have April 1st, so a good spring/summer runoff is assured. All we need is a couple more wet years. A handful of desalination plants and new reservoirs would make drought years far less consequential. Unfortunately the greens block them.

I’ve seen these years before. February can be super wet as well.
They’ll be empty within the year. The drought is political

The rainy season? Someone should’ve said something about it a long time ago.
California reservoirs rise after weeks of storms drench the state

Boy Howdy. A “No $hit Sherlock headline, if I have ever seen one.
Does it really matter if Newsome is just going to open the floodgates to let it run off into the sea anyway?
Silico=Silicon.
Miss, more coffee please.
See how they run!
I’ll miss the bodies they’ve been finding in lake Mead..
“They’ll be empty within the year. The drought is political”
Right on the money... That was my first thought too. It foils their self made “crisis agenda”.
Driving by Folsom Reservoir daily, I see that the water release is massive.
Because Newsom is destroying dams (so that Amerinds can salmon fish 'naturally') water is being released and not stored,
in anticipation of the snow melt this spring.
There’s big money to be made in “drought” ... but power is the much bigger motivation to keep the “drought” going.
Person with no life: See? The global warming theory said this would happen.
Sane person: The global warming theory said that EVERYTHING will happen. How can they miss?
Just rhink. If California had not already spent other billions in destroying smaller dams, there would be even more water retained now. That could be released to “preserve” even more invading fish species.
