The rain and snow Kern County has seen so far, has been a step in a positive direction, but definitely is not enough to end California’s drought.

 

Kern River Watermaster Dana Munn said what we see in the coming months will give us a better perspective on drought impacts.

 

“You almost have to look at it as an annual operation, of how the storms come in, how much water you’re able to keep in the reservoirs, how much water you’re able to recharge into the basin to replenish the groundwater,” said Munn.
