These three graphs show key California reservoir conditions and river stages for the upper and lower Sacramento Valley. The images are from the California Department of Water Resources’ Data Exchange Center and the National Weather Service.
RESERVOIR CONDITIONS
ENDING MIDNIGHT, FEBRUARY 15, 2017
This graph shows California reservoirs, with percentage capacity (the first number) and percentage of historical average (the second number). Updated graphs are available here, at “Selected Reservoirs Daily Graphs.

SoCal is going to be hit by six inches of rain. The concrete drainage channels they call rivers over there will be flowing.
Forecasters are calling for 10” in the Oroville area. And we know the forecasters are always right.
The Oroville dam fiasco is directly traceable back to Jerry Brown’s horrible mismanagement of water policy. He diverted two bodies of water for some idiotic environmental scheme. That water could have been diverted to the Central Valley. But, nooooo. The typical libtard has to do the thing that does the most damage.
Gotta save the salamanders or something.
Why didn’t they show all the new reservoirs that were built with the billions of dollars of water bonds approved since the last water crisis in the late 80s. Oh wait, there aren’t any! All this rain should be filling up the new reservoirs so that when it gets dry again...oops I forgot where I live. Global Warming, Global Warming, Blah Blah Blah.
Hmmm. I did read a while back that they dumped a bunch of the fresh stuff into the pacific for some idiotic reason.
Delta smelt, which is a minnow that serves no purpose. And 23 trout.
And the delta smelt is an illegal immigrant in the Delta. Not even a native fish.

The reason is that we could not stop it. It was either let it find the ocean or grow flippers and gills.
Too bad this rain can’t make it over the Sierra Nevadas and fill up Lake Mead.
Well, check that. The delta smelt is indigenous to the Delta. It’s being eradicated by the illegal immigrant fishes. So much for the “precious ecosystem” that is being saved by denying water for human use.
Full enough that the drought-whining has devolved into flood-whining.
I didn’t know that about the Delta smelt! The Central Valley has been starved for water for years because of that stupid minnow. Family farms have gone under. It’s just a dust bowl now. Disgusting.
Check post #13. I apparently mis-remembered something about the smelt. Apparently it’s considered indigenous. I know I read somewhere that it is not, but...
It really doesn’t matter if the stupid smelt is indigenous or not. Diverting water from the Central Valley to save a minnow is cruel and abusive.
Just shameful. Makes me so glad we fled SoCal in 2015.
If global cooling continues, we’re going to see fewer droughts and a lot more flooding.
