Drone footage shot by storm chaser Brandon Clement showed the improvement in water level and snowpack in places such as Folson Lake, Lake Oroville and Donner Pass, since last summer.
Map of California's interconnected water system, including all eleven reservoirs over 1,000,000 acre-feet (1.2 km 3) as well as selected smaller ones.. This is a list of the largest reservoirs, or man-made lakes, in the U.S. state of California.
In the 1870s, the Southern Pacific built a raised causeway for its tracks and roadway across the lake bed isolating the eastern part of the lake, now the current Una Lake. Subsequently, in 1897, the South Antelope Valley Irrigation Company built a dam west of the railroad causeway and built a ditch from Little Rock Creek to keep Una Lake full ...
The lake is near the city of Paso Robles. Lake Nacimiento has a capacity of 377,000 acre⋅ft (465 million m 3). The lake can fill quickly in the winter from river surges resulting from downpours upstream in the Santa Lucia Range so the level is not usually allowed to capacity until May 1 of each year. The lake was developed and paid for by ...

The snowpack at Phillips Station, located west of Lake Tahoe, recorded 29 inches of snow on Tuesday morning during a monthly snow survey by the California Department of Water Resources.
A project to raise the lake 21 ft (6.4 m) was completed in 2004. The lake now impounds an additional 42,000 acre⋅ft (52,000,000 m 3) and downstream flood protection to downstream communities and agricultural land has been increased. Because its primary purpose is flood control, Lake Kaweah is maintained at a very low level or empty for most ...
Water level elevation in the lake is maintained at a maximum of 280 feet (85 m) above sea level, 35 feet (11 m) lower than the dam's maximum of 315 feet (96 m) spillway to ensure safe operations. [3] The lake level can fluctuate significantly, depending upon the amount of runoff received from the San Dieguito River drainage basin. [ 4 ]
