Lake Shasta, the largest reservoir in California, is experiencing the lowest levels of rainfall since Shasta Dam was constructed in the 1940s. Water allotments to Central Valley fammers, and urban water districts in the Bay Area, have been severely cut back as a result.
The rain and snow can make getting around more difficult. But if you ve seen Shasta Lake recently, you ll see the wet weather has its advantages when it comes to pulling us out of the drought.
