Reservoirs have recovered even more than last month. The capacity most of the large reservoirs have increased in the last five weeks between 2% and 19% (Almanor, Trinity, Shasta, Oroville, New Melones, Don Pedro, Pine Flat) over the last month. Only Berryessa and San Luis were down, by 1% and 5% respectively.
Increases have been even greater at the mid-sized reservoirs (300k to 1mm acre feet). A few are down (Nacimiento, Clear Lake); Diamond Valley was unchanged and the rest are up at least 4%, some in the double digits.
Not surprisingly, local SFBA reservoirs fluctuated by a few percent at most. They're generally filled, or have a good reason not to be.
