On Monday, the Army Corps of Engineers did something that seemed impossible even a month ago. The Corps released water from the Lake Mendocino Reservoir because there's actually too much of it.
At the reservoir's boat ramp, the water is already taking over a big part of the ramp and what it's doing is invading the flood pool.
"This is a sigh of relief for everybody in this watershed, but we know that we have to hold on to the conservation gains long term," said Sonoma County Supervisor James Gore who also serves as Sonoma County Water Agency's Director. "I'm excited about it honestly. It's beautiful; super grateful for it. We definitely need it," said Shanna Barnes."The last time it was actually higher, past these barriers was in 2010. It's been 12 years," said Danielle Smith.What really counts is how much water is getting into the reservoirs and underground aquifers after nine atmospheric rivers over the last three weeks.
