Rice planting season means more incredible scenes from pilots seeding California rice fields from the sky!

Don't miss this footage (slowed down ~5x) of seeds falling like raindrops on rice fields that will serve as vital habitat for fish and birds throughout the Sacramento Valley.

More than 1.2m acre-feet of #groundwater recharge was permitted by State Water Board, more than 400,000 acre-feet of flood #water was diverted and millions more acre-feet of managed and natural recharge was achieved by local actions in the 2023 Water Year.

Wow, excellent #bts footage and great news! May snowpack results come in at average, and average is good!

[placerwater @PlacerWater]

We had a dry start to 2024, but storms bolstered snowpack & reservoir conditions. PCWA's manual snow surveys showed unusually average results--and average is good! 123% SWE in April, 84% in May, and combined reservoir storage at 97% of avg. Forecasts ~100% of avg. #CAWater

It's #NationalWetlandsMonth! Wetlands are critical habitats for many fish and bird species. Plus they  help filter the groundwater that we use to drink and protect us from storm damage and floods!

[US Department of the Interior @Interior]

Happy American Wetlands Month!

Not only are these highly productive and diverse ecosystems beautiful, but they also recharge groundwater, reduce flooding, supply clean drinking water, support wildlife and provide incredible recreational opportunities.

Today, at the 2024 @ACWAWater Conference, we underscored our all-of-the-above approach to boosting water supplies.

California is building more, faster – water storage & the Delta Conveyance Project.

Today in history📜
#FolsomDam was officially dedicated on May 5, 1956. The dam & its 977 TAF reservoir are part of the #CentralValleyProject. Folsom captures runoff from the American River Basin & provides #floodcontrol, power & water supply for the Sacramento area.

Reservoir levels are doing well across NorCal: #LakeOroville is full for 2nd year in a row! Lake Shasta, CA's largest reservoir, is at 97% capacity, Lake Folsom is at 89% https://t.co/rkhU5ZHkRp @CA_DWR #cawater #norcalwater
