San Diego No Longer In Drought

The recent rainfall replenished snowpacks and reservoirs throughout the state. Those heavy rains that drenched San Diego County last week, wreaking havoc on roadways and property, brought a silver lining. Some areas in California got 600-percent of their usual precipitation alleviating drought conditions for a quarter of the state. The Drought Monitor still reports that San Diego County is experiencing drought, however Dana Friehauf of the San Diego County Water Authority (SDCWA), says the Monitor doesn’t measure the water supply.
