Show Notes
Californias snowpack is rapidly melting due to a record heat wave, threatening summer water supplies. Despite reservoirs being well-stocked, early snowmelt and federal rules prevent full capture of runoff. Water managers are navigating tension between storage and flood preparation, using new tools like Forecast Informed Reservoir Operations to balance flood control and storage. Early storms have moistened soils, but managers worry about summer gaps as heat persists and budgets tighten, emphasizing the need for smarter water rules in a warming world.
