Latest storms increased water levels at California reservoirs, but officials say conservation still needed
Despite the struggles with flooding, state officials say there is good news: drought and water storage conditions are improving.
"From a statewide perspective, the overall statewide reservoir storage is about 84% of historical average, reported out yesterday it was at 81% of average. So again, these storms are continuing across the state to help with our reservoir storage levels," said Molly White with the California Department Of Water Resources.
The two largest reservoirs, Shasta and Oroville, are up in the northern part of the state and that's where the storms hit hardest. On Tuesday, they rose to 70% and 88% of historical levels. Just a month ago, the levels were only about 55% for this time of year.
