California’s Water Year Is off to a Great Start. Here’s a Look at the Numbers

California’s water year is off to a great start, thanks in large part to the past week’s stormy stretch for the state. The water year began on Oct. 1 and continues until Sept. 30 next year.

Since the start of the water year, Sacramento has seen nearly 5 inches of rain at Executive Airport. That is more than three times the normal amount of rain for this point in the season.
