Related: About this forumCalifornia's reservoirs surge after back-to-back storms
ABC7Statewide, reservoir storage is now about 114% of the historical average, marking a significant improvement in water availability.
Combined, there are about six trillion gallons of water in the reservoirs. That's enough to cover the entire state of Nevada in three inches of water.
Above-average storage is especially notable given that the water year began only recently on October 1. Still, experts caution that the full effect of the recent weeklong rainstorms will take time to appear in official measurements.
