"California's Reservoirs Replenished by Dramatic Storms"

California's lakes and reservoirs have been replenished following three years of drought, with 12 of the state's 17 major reservoirs now above their historical averages for the start of spring. The storms have poured more than 78 trillion gallons of water on the state, filling reservoirs to capacity and prompting Governor Gavin Newsom to lift some water restrictions. However, there are still water shortages in some areas, and officials are preparing for flooding as a result of snowmelt when temperatures warm up.
