Default yay California!

the most recent update looks ok, but is
pretty much as expected after such a great
snowpack/runoff.

Total AF 23,169,139
Group Average 118.05%

only three reservoirs in the list not
doing that well, and one of them is the result
of the spillway break at Oroville (repairs
underway), the other two are in the far south
where the need is greatest. hopefully they
can be shored up this season from water shipped
south.

Lake Mead and Lake Powell are doing ok, but
the lack of spring rains meant about 1maf of
snow evaporated rather than contributed to
runoff. the inflows to Lake Powell peaked
a few weeks ago, but it is still rising very
slowly. probably will peak soon (around 66-67%
full).
