The authorities confirm the unexpected trend in the state's water level – here you will find the latest numbers

The reservoirs in California are full of unexpected weather patterns in the region than for years.

According to the Redding Record Searchlight, 14 of the 16 reserves regulated by the Department of Water Resources in California were more water than their historical average values ​​for the month of February.

This was due to a uniquely damp winter, including storms that dropped almost one and a half meter of rain on the largest reservoir in the state, Lake Shasta.

It is even more impressive that the reservoirs are higher than their typical values, although the state increases the amount of water that flows out of them to create space for more rain that is expected during the rest of the rainy season.

From mid -February, Saßa sat at 78% of the capacity, but was up to 90% of its capacity in the early winter. Lake Oroville held 84% of his capacity, which is 133% more than he usually has at this time of year. The Trinity Lake was 84% ​​full, which is particularly impressive because it is one of the slow filler reserves of the state.

Remarkably, both Casitas (96%) and Diamond Valley (98%) are well over 90% of their maximum volume, while Folsom is more than 40% more full than it is typically in February.

The two reservoirs, which were under their normal level in February, were Millererton Lake, who was only 54% full, 86% of its usual level and Castaic Lake, which was 79% full, which corresponds to 99% of its usual level for February.

While the rain is certainly welcome, the massive precipitation is due to our changing climate. When the planet heats up, weather patterns become less predictable and more serious, which means larger, more dangerous storms and longer drought time in between. This type of festival or family approach can affect the plants and destabilize the landscape, since the soil may not be able to lose water at the speed it falls.

The increased water level could not come at a better time for the state of California. The entire state was scattered in a long drought that led to an increase in forest fires. Finally, Los Angeles saw widespread devastation after a number of fast-moving fires in the city, which the government asked to apply for $ 1 billion for reconstruction.
