Water situation in California

[Mini Me]

Rain does the So Cal no real benefit. It flows into the ocean. They should be finding ways to capture run off for use on golf courses and farms.

They do have reservoirs down there that are filling.

Use it on farms. There shouldn't be golf courses in areas with regular and predictable droughts.

"March has delivered.

The steady stream of storms this month has brought the water level at Lake Shasta a mere 31 feet from the top.

That’s good news for Redding and North State residents who depend on the state’s largest reservoir for their water needs.

The lake has gone up 9 feet over the past week as Shasta Dam has received about 4 inches of rain during that time, said Don Bader, area manager of the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation.

As of Wednesday afternoon, there was 3.7 million acre feet of water in Lake Shasta, which means the lake is 82% full. When full, the lake holds 4.5 million acre feet.

The lake has gone up 118 feet since Dec. 1".

The problem for Southern CA is that their major water supply will not increase significantly until the snowfall in the CO basin starts to melt and flow downstream.

We be fine!!! Northern California reservoirs are filled from what I have read.
