I find this* graph most helpful. In one graph it displays all of Californias reservoirs with their current level, their historical average, and their level 1 year ago vs their capacity. It also shows the relative sizes to one another.
The reservoir from the article (Oroville) is one of the only ones to have made such a recovery.

- jabo 4y agoI second this. Thank you for sharing! I wonder if this is a custom visualization pattern, or if there is general a name for this type of visualization. Does any one know?
- mikeyouse 4y agoThe author talks about them a bit below the chart in that link. Apparently it’s called a marimekko visualization or a mosaic plot: https://datavizcatalogue.com/methods/marimekko_chart.html https://datavizcatalogue.com/methods/marimekko_chart.html
- xmddmx 4y agoThis one shows reservoirs + snowpack (which I think is ultimately what matters most): https://engaging-data.com/california-reservoirs-and-snowpack/ https://engaging-data.com/california-reservoirs-and-snowpack...
