The three-year period from 2020 to 2022 is now the driest on record dating back to 1896, and the long-range forecast suggests drier-than-average conditions will persist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Only one of these 17 major reservoirs \u2013 Millerton Lake along the eastern edge of the Central Valley \u2013 is currently above the historical average level, at 135% of normal. In contrast, the largest reservoirs in the state system, Shasta, Oroville and Trinity, are currently at 55%, 59% and 36% of their historical averages, respectively. (A longer list including smaller reservoirs is available here: <a href=\"https:\/\/gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fcdec.water.ca.gov%2Freportapp%2Fjavareports%3Fname%3DRES&amp;data=05%7C01%7Cjay.vanrein%40cdfa.ca.gov%7Cb9213003e48440f7910708dae50adc32%7Cafdfd251a22248978cbaae68cabfffbc%7C0%7C0%7C638074132052720128%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=22tOhzHO%2F0ulRf2Pu4fKLPewWjLeZA1F5gOIwmgYR54%3D&amp;reserved=0\">http:\/\/cdec.water.ca.gov\/reportapp\/javareports?name=RES<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On a positive note, California\u2019s snowpack is shaping up more to our liking, although it\u2019s still early in the season. We need snowpack to fill our reservoirs and rivers. Statewide, our snowpack is currently at 162% of normal levels for this date. The Northern Sierra\/Trinity region is currently at 133% of normal, the Central Sierra is at 160%, and the Southern Sierra is at 193%. However, the statewide average is still only 51% of the normal level for April 1, traditionally the end of the state\u2019s major precipitation period, so again, we would need storms throughout the early part of the year to keep up the pace.
