California’s second-largest reservoir (Lake Oroville) reached full capacity for the third year in a row Thursday, the first time it’s hit such a record in its 57-year history. … Its latest milestone comes as warming temperatures and snowmelt runoff made its way into the Feather River watershed. … Water levels are at 121% of the reservoir’s historical average for this time of year, which is a similar trend among nearly all if the state’s major reservoirs. With the exception of the San Luis Reservoir, which is sitting at 94% of its historical capacity, every major reservoir is above its average. The past wet winter in California has bolstered snowpack accumulation and cut detrimental drought conditions that have been persistent in previous years.
