(California's water situation, that is...)
The executive summary of current supplies is here, and here are two highlights:
California's precipitation is at 80 percent of the average for this time of year.
Shasta Reservoir (the biggest in the State) is at 29 percent of capacity.
Bottom Line: With supply falling short, perhaps water managers should work on the demand side -- perhaps by raising prices!

Perhaps the Shasta reservoir is low because we are flooding with Northern California's precip up here in the PNW. Glub glub. Many climate change projections predicted just such a shift in precip patterns and this may be it. This is the second year in a row to shatter local snowfall records, and they closed I-5 at Chehalis because it is under water.
