DWR has published its latest drought bulletin which provides a monthly update to California’s water conditions. As the winter season is upon us, reservoir conditions have typically reached their lowest levels after summer demands. The total statewide October through December precipitation was 78 percent of average, further adding to our accumulated water supply deficit. Information in the update is based on hydrologic data compiled through the end of December. This month’s report includes: updated information on hydrologic and water supply conditions; local drought impacts; a discussion on historical drought periods; impacts by hydrologic region; and the status of drought emergencies declared by counties. You can find the bulletin here.
