See California Reservoirs Fill Up In These Before-And-After Images

At the height of the California drought, images of empty reservoirs became the poster children of a state that desperately needed water. Their low water levels revealed massive swaths of dry, cracked lake beds. Now that the state has finally moved out of the drought with a rainy season marked by ceaseless moisture-packed storms, these same reservoirs are filled with water and 100 to 170 percent of their historical averages. Brimming and replenished, they’re a symbol of the state’s recovery.
