Sierra snowpack improving; Drought far from over
United States
Although the amount of rain and snow in California this year has reached higher levels than last year, the state’s drought is still not over,

Rainfall and the Sierra Nevada snowpack’s water content have significantly improved this water year, which began on Oct. 1.
Additionally, the state’s major water reservoirs have also increased significantly since Jan. 1, according to DWR officials
