What are California Reservoir Levels in March?
(cron) — As wet weather continues to affect California, several reservoirs across the state are being managed with scheduled water releases to prevent flooding, according to the California Department of Water Resources (DWR).
rear 14 atmospheric rivers hit in succession this winter, the reservoir began to fill up quickly. Most of the major reservoirs are not yet full, but some are significantly higher than in the past. This is especially true of Don He Pedro Reservoir, Kamanche Reservoir, and Oroville Reservoir in Central California.

A video shared by DWR shows massive amounts of water being released from Lake Oroville into the Feather River at a rate of 35,000 cubic feet per second. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is working with downstream water utilities to plan water discharges to manage flood control.
The water spray closed Oro Dam Boulevard between Rusty Dusty Road and Canyon Drive because the spray across the road reduced visibility for drivers. DWR said motorists will continue to have access to the Oroville Dam and state recreation area using State Route 162 and Canyon Drive.

The San Luis Reservoir has more than doubled in water levels in the last two months of wet weather. Nearly all of Central California’s reservoirs exceed 80% capacity.
| reservoir | January level | march level |
| Kamanchi | 73% of capacity | 81% of capacity |
| new melon | 36% of capacity | 54% of capacity |
| Don Pedro | 72% of capacity | 88% of capacity |

Southern California
SoCal reservoirs are not gaining water as quickly as those in Northern and Central California, but the Cachuma reservoir is nearly full. Cachuma grew rapidly when an atmospheric river hit California in January, causing water levels to rise 36 feet in 24 hours.
| reservoir | January level | march level |
| Katuma | 84% of capacity | 96% of capacity |
| Casitas | 37% of capacity | 56% of capacity |
| Castique | 54% of capacity | 73% of capacity |
| diamond valley | 61% of capacity | 60% of capacity |
Reservoir water levels are likely to continue to rise as California’s wet weather is expected in the coming weeks. The state continues to be affected by landslides and fallen trees, but the dampness continues to be a welcome sign of relief for the state. drought blows hard.
