Third driest year on record for Lake Mendocino, Army Corps declares
With Lake Mendocino losing about a foot of water every five days, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers declared that 2020 is the “third driest year on record for the basin.” Though 2019 “was one of the wettest years over the past 25 years, this year is stacking up to be one of the driest,” the Army Corps explained…However, the Army Corps said a new forecasting model for storms developed over the last few years has definitely helped maintain the lake’s water levels.
