The California Department of Water Resources (DWR) said on Monday that Lake Oroville has reached 100% capacity, marking a crucial milestone in water management efforts.
"This is great news for ensuring adequate water supply for millions of Californians & environmental needs & we continue to manage both while maintaining flood protection for downstream communities," the department said.
Lake Oroville, serving 27 million Californians, currently holds over 3.5 million acre-feet of water, benefiting from consecutive wet winters California experienced.
The DWR anticipates further planned releases from the lake's dam in the upcoming weeks to accommodate snowmelt runoff.
