Folsom Lake can hold over 1,000,000 acre feet. To put it into perspective for you SoCalers, surface area wise it's over five times the size of Castaic. It's about 10 miles from the dam to pastie cove. Here's a side by side picture of the lake how it normally looks and how it looked last week at 17% capacity. This supplies the drinking water to a good portion of the Sacramento Valley. Our boating season will be over before it begins unless we get some serious water.

I guess we'll be boating at Tahoe or the Delta this year...

Our reservoirs here in Socal start like ponds and end up as slews. Time to relearn taking Navy Showers
