“It’s certainly going to have an impact,” said Tim O’Halloran, general manager of Yolo County’s Flood Control and Water Conservation District.

 

O’Halloran monitors 150 wells daily and 11 of them on a real-time basis using remote cameras from his Woodland office.

He said that while the recent rains have helped, many more storms are needed to make a dent in California’s four-year drought.

“The groundwater is depleted,” O’Halloran said.
