California s reservoirs are half empty.
The massive bodies of water that the state depends on for agriculture and everyday use in homes are dropping dramatically.
Case in point: Lake Shasta, the state s largest water reserve, is at 53% of capacity as of April 3. On the same date last year, it was at 80% of capacity.
While last winter was marked by parched conditions similar to this year, reservoirs were still full in spring 2020, as the state was coming off a run of wet rainy seasons. But at the end of a second consecutive dry winter, the reservoirs are starting to show signs of drought conditions.
