the collection of reservoirs i watch last year
was around 6-7 million acre feet of water about this
time. this year it is close to 12maf. the reservoirs
that were close to sucking air that were real concerns
were Folsom and McClure, both are doing ok this year.

i hope they get plenty of snow this winter on the
mountains.

Neat url about water:

cute!

for us leaking pipes mean the water
just goes back into the ground, i am
not sure how long it takes for the
surface water to get down to where the
well sucks it up. not too many leaks.
pretty small system.

as we have running ditches from two
directions that run through here i am
not worried about running out of water.
even this summer with very little rain
the larger one keeps running as it
drains a pretty big area (a few hundred
acres).

in another era i'd set up a smaller
and shallow well to use for garden
irrigation and to get a small pond
topped off, but i'm not quite that
ambitious at the moment. eventually
i do hope to do something like that
to encourage more froggies and toadies
and maybe even get some crayfish
growing.
