California Reservoirs Reach New Heights After Recent Storms and Increased Outflows.

Winter storms in California have significantly improved drought conditions and filled state reservoirs that had held less than a third of their capacity. Drone photos from the California Department of Water Resources show that Lake Oroville's water level rose from 29% to 75% of its capacity, while Folsom Lake went from 27% to 63%. The winter storms have eased drought conditions across the state and prompted authorities to lift mandatory water restrictions for millions of Southern California residents.
