Keep in mind those records go back to 1849. The shortage of rain in some areas is being measured not in inches but in feet. Reporter skiers and boarders are lamenting the lack of snow in the sierra.

This year the county is headed for a record low with 10 1 2 inches. The morinne Water District board already called for a voluntary cutback on water use and may consider rashtioning at its paper meeting. The district pulled out the water from one area and put it in storage. So its low, but its deliberate. Santa claras efforts seem to be paying off. The water that builds our reservoirs we release all summer and make sure it percolates into our ground water basin so its there in the wintertime, the spring and also makes room for winter rain in the reservoirs. Reporter no need to worry for water about next summer at least not yet. In february if it looks like weather conditions havent changed well start to talk about what changes we need to call for in the community. Reporter even in los angeles the driest rainy season in memory isnt yet a concern. L. A. Gets water from Northern California and the colorado river.
