Thanks to El Niño, Six Out of Eight Marin Reservoirs Full and Overflowing

The recent El Niño storms soaking Northern California are recharging Marin County reservoirs, and on Tuesday, six were spilling over and funneling water into creeks and streams.

This is all good news for Marin residents and local salmon as this year’s coho run is the largest in almost a decade.

 

The Marin Municipal Water District has recorded 28.7 inches of rain at its Lake Lagunitas gauge since July 1, and this season’s rainfall is 103 percent of average.
