Californians received a double dose of not so happy water news last month; cutbacks were made to water allocations and a key water price index surged higher. Drought fears are heightening due to low reservoir levels and below normal snowpack.

The winter precipitation season generally ends with the month of March, and it looks like California will head into summer with lower water supplies than last year after a second consecutive winter of below normal rain and snowpack. The state’s Department of Water Resources has wasted no time in sounding alarm bells; officials have already announced 50 percent cutbacks from December 2020’s projected water allotments to State Water Project allocations for the 2021 water year. California residents were warned “to plan for the impacts of limited water supplies this summer for agriculture as well as urban and rural water users.”

Normal October through March rain and snowfall patterns have fallen short of what’s needed to replenish California’s diminished water supplies, which means the winter precipitation season has ended again with below normal reservoir water levels and low snowpack in the mountains. Things could certainly change with heavy unexpected precipitation, but hopes are dimming fast as the dry season commences. It looks like Californians will have to wait for the monsoon season that begins in mid-June before there is a higher chance for replenishing rains again.
