I think that we have hit the high water mark for the California reservoir system for this year. Today 34 of the 48 reservoirs on the California Department of Water Resources are showing outflows.

Reservoir % of capacity
6 > 100% of capacity
28 > 90% of capacity
4 > 80% of capacity
6 > 70% of capacity
4 > 60% of capacity
1 > 50% of capacity
48 = 89% of capacity
The overall system is lower on a % of capacity measure because the third largest reservoir, Trinity, is at 58% of capacity. Trinity has 8.5% of the total capacity of the 48 reservoirs (1.4 million acre feet).
Why is Trinity so low? This article is a couple of months old, but it provides some context.
