That's way too long of a headline. And if it was just "California's reservoirs are not sufficiently large", or something, doesn't that imply that they should be increased in volume?
- Waterluvian 4y agoTake a positive spin: “California’s reservoirs full early in rain conveyor whatever it’s called now” Ie. tell them they met their goals early!
- AuthorizedCust 4y agoThey are far from full: https://cdec.water.ca.gov/resapp/RescondMain https://cdec.water.ca.gov/resapp/RescondMain
- kec 4y agoHow? Reservoirs take up enormous amounts of land, are ecologically disruptive and increase flood risk, especially if the embankments are allowed to dry out during times of drought.
- sliken 4y agoAfter a week of storms the reservoirs had moved from 33% full to 34% full. It's not that they aren't large enough, it's just the watersheds that lead into them aren't particularly large relative to the state. I lived near Berryessa and yes it raid from a low of 394 on Dec 20th to 399 today. It's still 40 feet under the spillway, which I've seen activated before.
