Officials warned that long-term drought conditions in the Colorado River Basin will also continue to impact the water supply for millions of Californians and urged residents to conserve water.
California's statewide snowpack could top records after a recent series of powerful storms, state water officials said Monday.
Statewide snowpack is at 237% of the April average, ranking among the highest in state history, according to the fourth snow survey of the season by the Department of Water Resources. This year's major snowfall provides some relief to California, which was three years into a prolonged drought and grappling with plummeting reservoir levels. Statewide snowpack is at 237% of the April average, ranking among the highest in state history, according to theOfficials, who took readings from 130 snow sensors placed across the state, said the results were higher than any other reading since the sensor network was established in the mid-1980s.
"Because additional snow courses were added over the years, it is difficult to compare results accurately across the decades with precision, but this year's snowpack is definitely one of the biggest the state has seen since the 1950s," Guzman said.
