Following last week's discouraging snow survey, this week's early spring heat wave could make the snowpack situation even worse, forcing local water districts to start considering more drought restrictions.
LOS GATOS – Following last week’s discouraging snow survey, this week’s early spring heat wave could make the snowpack situation even worse, forcing local water districts to start considering more drought restrictions.
“Basically, what you are seeing right here is that if you consider the groundwater underneath us like a bathtub or a storage tank, we are drawing on it,” said Aaron Baker, Chief Operating Officer of Valley Water.“Normally we’d be able to fill it back up with some of those other supplies and right now we’re not able to do that.”
“As the snow pack continues to melt, the big unknown is how much of that water will actually make it into the reservoirs,” Sean de Guzman with the Department of Water Resources said during last week’s snow survey. “And the next few weeks are really that critical period to actually watch how much of that runoff will actually make it down into those lakes,” de Guzman said at the time.
