Water is life. Looks like a 50% recovery so far. Love before and after shots.

Well done 👍! The way you did the before and after was awesome!

at last a video showing before and after weeks of storms.Thanks a lot

Very good job editing together the before and after shots, and switching back and forth a couple times!

Thx for the video. I've been curious as to how the recent weather in California would affect the drought status. Your drone videos are so good. As always thanks for taking us with you.

Amazing! We sure needed this. Just hope that the ground water is not depleted too. Still nowhere near the level needed. The waterline is still 10-20 feet lower than it's supposed to be. Thank You for the video. Good work 👍

Rainfall at this point in time is not collected in reservoirs. It flows out to the sea. Reservoirs have be kept at lower levels for flood control in the winter. The snowpack in the Sierras and the rains in April and May contribute to the long term water supply in the reservoirs. As of the first snopack survey on January 3rd, the 55 inches of snow is equivalent to 17.5 inches of water. That depth is 177% above historical norms. That is a good thing. (retired civil engineer)

CA is at 97% of 30 years average for reservoirs. Shasta has a ways to go as do a few other big reservoirs. Oroville is the only one of the large ones to be at historical average. But they are still climbing and looks like more rain late Jan

@@bbaff8622 I don't know if you are an employee at the California State Department of Water Resources, but several years back they displayed their incompetence by keeping the water level at Oroville to high with a significant snow pack up in the Sierras in the drainage basin. They nearly lost both the spillway and the emergency overflow weir where the hillside below was not properly armored with rock slope protection. They never thought the weir would be necessary.

@@sequoiasemperviren3163 I remember that very clearly. As I said they must be releasing due to the inflow. Mendocino is at 75% or so cap so must be draining off based on inflow. Its also at 147% of 30 year average. Oroville is only at 57.9%, they wont start releasing until it is closer to full and the inflow is higher than they can release.

Awesome video thanks for sharing

That was cool!

pictures/video that show before and after better than thousands words ! many thanks !

That was awesome!

let it rain let it rain let it rain, awesome

Outstanding photography

Thank you.

Awesome! That's not including the snow melt that's coming in the spring!

Incredible!! Still another week or two of storms. Hope they all get full

That is really encouraging but still a ways to go yet !! Thanks for the easy answers to the before and after ?

What a difference!! The snow will melt and add more water and that’s great!! But what a storm on the coastal part with such extensive damage.

Wow, great to see..

Looks pretty.

Anyone out there have any footage of the current water level at Eastman Lake? I can not find any, I went out there this last November and was shocked it was nearly empty. Curious how it looks now.

A most excellent video 👍👍thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the video, I let the ads play, as a thank you.

Awesome finally got some rain there and here in Utah we have good amount of snow and rain so far

The "After-the-After-the- Before" shots may also be interesting, come next June!!

Some titles would be helpful. Just constantly trying to remember which one I was just looking at and which one I’m looking at now makes it hard to keep up.

did they find any dead body's in the dried up lands on them

can someone explain to a non-californian what all these house boats are doing there? do people buy these and just leave them out there and then take a boat to get on them and just sit there? i am a little confused by the house boats.

What's weird is that the Atmospheric River along the West Coast is active during a La Niña year. This typically happens during El Niño years. Perhaps the extreme Pacific Jetstream extension and crashing weekly SOI values are responsible for the massive surge of moisture?

You needed to have monitored the jetstream during the past recent intense rainfall. The jetstream across the Pacific originated in the southwest equatorial region, then flowed across ocean waters where sea surface temperatures were 1 to 2 degrees centigrade warmer than the 30-year average of sea surface temperatures recorded between 1971 and 2000. That warmer water was the source of the atmospheric river that hit the west coast. Since that jetstream has moved north, patches of the ocean where that jetstream was is now experiencing sea surface temperatures COOLER than the 30-year climatic average of those sea surface temperatures recorded between 1971 and 2000.

@@RobertMJohnson It is extremely significant dolt. I don't know what your education is but I am a civil engineer knowledgeable regarding chemistry, physics, and a whole lot of math. 1971 to 2000 were cooler temperatures than over the 2000 to 2007 period when sea surface temperatures peaked. If you cannot understand the significant of extensive areas of the earth's oceans now experiencing sea surface temperatures COOLER than that 30-year average from 1971 to 2000, then I seriously pity you. Google NOAA Operational 5km SST Anomaly Charts. Pick the top link. Observe the daily data for yourself. Where the jet stream was last weak bringing water vapor from the south westerly portion of the Pacific near the equator, across the Pacific north of Hawaii, there are now patches of the Pacific where sea surface temperatures are now COOLER than that 30-year average. That is significant because is shows the depth of the water warmer than that 30-year average is not extensive and upwelling has taken place.

Snow melt and spring storms will fill it up if we're lucky. Look up "The Great Flood of 1861-1862", you will learn something about the west coast, and California weather.

Hopefully they will let these reservoirs fill

It's needs to stabilize the ground structure before adding any more serious water. But another 25-ish ft. Would really set things up. I predict some decent watercraft sales this spring. Unless NUMNUTS Gavin screws that up too!

Folsom lake, not FolsoN

It's just a dent though. Back in 2016 Californians voted and passed bills to build new infrastructure to save all this much needed water. Nothing has been done under Newsom.

I thought the drought was 'climate change.' Maybe the floods are 'climate change.' Where's Greta for an answer.

that video is from 2021 not to 2023

It's temporary

Just exactly, how many houseboats do they, ? Allow on this lake? I mean, really! Trinity or the forest service, whoever, only allow a few dozen and they come at a huge premium in dollars to TRY to get a permit! This is an effort to try to regulate over crowding?

mexico it's still pretty it just needs to be freed

Not sure what the water restrictions were but considering summer is coming, probably not a good idea to remove all the restrictions. Summer brings droughts. Best to be prepared for it. These lakes are not 100% full yet.

Lololo

Well still need to save water, so we don't end up in a water drought again 👁️🔥🌠
