From bone-dry creek beds to rushing water in just one wet week!
It’s been a turbulent ride of literal highs and lows for our watershed in the past seven days. Last Sunday’s storm was the biggest in our area’s history in terms of volume of water over such a short amount of time. Taking stock of the weekend's impact tells a story of how our watershed handles huge fluctuations in streamflow and how we can prepare ourselves for severe weather changes.
Does that mean the drought is finally over? Not quite. For the human inhabitants of our ecosystem, unfortunately, our relationship with drought has not shifted as much as we might hope. When we review data from the reservoirs that supply water to most homes and businesses in the Valley, there has been little change in water storage levels, even though we received many months worth of rain in a single week.
