Third Straight Year of Below Average Sierra Mountains Snowpack

D.W.R. Spokesperson Ted Thomas says, “We’re well past the period where
we can expect heavy precipitation, so it is very disappointing.”

The northern Sierra registered 66 percent, the central Sierra 70 percent and the southern Sierra 61 percent.

This
marks the third straight year that the state is behind average. D.W.R.
has launched a statewide “Save our Water” campaign, urging Californians
to conserve throughout the summer.
