[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3947150, member: 5412"] Some of the state's reservoirs have seen greater water level rises than others. The state's second largest reservoir by volume, Lake Oroville, north of Sacramento, saw water levels rise from 673 feet above sea level on December 26 to 735 feet today, January 9—an increase of 62 feet. The state's largest reservoir—Shasta Lake—has also seen a significant rise in water level, at 21 feet. While most of California's major reservoirs are still below their historical averages, these increasing water levels are a good sign. The table below shows the changes in the water level of the state's 15 largest lakes by volume, with water level measured in feet above average sea level.
