As parts of California brace for an influx of melting snow after a record winter, state water officials announced Wednesday that they would boost water supplies for agencies serving 27 million residents. This time, they promised the full measure.
“Water supply conditions and careful management of reservoir operations during this extreme winter allows DWR to maximize water deliveries while enhancing protections for the environment,” said agency director Karla Nemeth in a statement. “DWR is moving and storing as much water as possible to the benefit of communities, agriculture, and the environment.”
Over the course of months, water is delivered through this system daily to local water agencies in the Bay Area, Central Valley, greater Los Angeles and San Diego. Wednesday’s announcement of 100% allocations is up from 75% in March.
