Gov. Gavin Newsom announced an emergency drought declaration for two California counties while standing on the historically dry bed of Lake Mendocino, a few hours north of San Francisco. I m standing currently 40 feet underwater, or should be standing 40 feet underwater, the governor said, noting that the reservoir is at just 43% of its normal capacity. Newsom fell short of declaring a statewide emergency but signed a lengthy executive order outlining preparations the state is making following a second consecutive year of exceedingly dry conditions. Mendocino and Sonoma counties along California s northern coast were selected because their water systems are more reliant upon rainfall than communities served by California s major canal systems, which rely on Sierra Nevada snowmelt, state leaders said.
