Lake Oroville, located north of Sacramento, is an important water reservoir for million of people.

The lake looked nearly depleted back on December 1st 2022, but this winterโ€™s productive snowstorms have raised water levels by 180 feet!

Officials estimate that the lakeโ€™s water level will continue to rise thanks to the atmospheric rivers dumping loads of moisture across the state.
