Rain Swells California’s Troubled Lake Oroville

The water level behind the troubled dam at Lake Oroville is rising for the first time since authorities ordered an emergency evacuation more than a week ago. But officials said Tuesday that the lake still has plenty of room to take in heavy recent rainfall. Department of Water Resources Director Bill Croyle says the water level at Lake Oroville is expected to peak 45 feet below capacity by early Wednesday before the level begins dropping once again.
