Drought Watch 3/17/15

The Department of Water Resources (DWR) has increased allocations of State Water Project (SWP) water to 20%. This is the second increase this season; in January, DWR increased allocations to 15%, up from December's 10% allocation. Despite these consistent increases, deliveries will still be far below the 4.2 million acre-feet requested by the 29 agencies that receive water from the SWP. The SWP has not delivered 100% allocation since 2006 and delivered only 5% in 2014.
