it's amazing. >> we're out here looking at the reservoir. you can see it's at capacity. >> reporter: the nicasio reservoir is at capacity. and here is why people are so excited to see this. here is what nicasio reservoir looked like in 2021 and 2022. they had discussed trucking water into marin. during the virtual press conference today, this series of storms is recharging reservoirs across the state. >> the overall state reservoir storage is about 84% of historical average. reported yesterday at 81% of average, so, again, these storms are continuing across the state to help with our reservoir storage level. >> reporter: but there is a down side to those swollen reservoirs. it means there's nowhere to catch the water that keeps falling. >> the water is oozing out of the mountain here, coming out everywhere. there are rivers, all these streams, natural streams. >> reporter: in fact, as we were talking to people at the spillway, a small rock and mudslide began spilling debris on the road. crews quickly cleaned it up but a reminder to be aware o

and the weight is already fattening up in freshwater reservoirs with over time, human intervention hase and the conditions for the reproduction of coal, when dams and hydroelectric power plants began to be built on the rivers, then our reservoirs began to be regularly started from the fifty-sixth year. last statement. we had in 2007. basically. today, the eel lives in the braslav lakes and in the largest reservoirs of belarus, and poachers tend to hunt. some specialize specifically in eel passion for profit reaches such limits that these people no longer stop neither law nor morality. each of them does not count on what will catch the eye of the inspector for the protection of flora and fauna, but statistics show that there is practically no chance, three four five six. constantly carried out monitoring monitors patrolling reservoirs are identified these comrades. of course, they are no longer on the same scale as they used to be in the nineties, of course, they have become smaller with the education of our service and taking into account the material and technical means that we have,

the last couple weeks. lexington reservoir along highway 17 there. this of course is a rare sight. so you can see the crowds have been gathering all d ahead of the los gatos creek trail to watch. >> looking at the reservoirs, typically, at least the years i can remember, there is just feet and feet of rocks at the edge. it's just completely fulfill it is pretty amazing. >> to keep up, the water district is pretty much releasing more than 3,000 gallons per second at lexington. we did send robert handa out there to check it out. we'll show why you all this activity is giving a lot of people a feeling of awe and dread. chief meteorologist jeff ranieri? >> seeing that spillway going over, doing what it is designed to do and with some dry weather ahead. i think we'll be okay that on that front. we had that rain moving to the south. what i wanted to share with you and everybody at home. look at this. there are a lot of numbers. this is so far this season, and you can see our deficit surplus every single spot in the bay area running

we have one person on duty here on the reservoirs, where there is ice, i still found it. ation is no less stressed by the abnormally warm in the yard, it tickles new year’s, they know that it has risen in the water level, floated on without an aspect, a sharp warming and with destruction ice. we got sharp jumps in water levels. here, in particular, to take the example of the neman city, grodno here, in comparison with mid-december until today, the level has risen by almost one and a half meters . specialists can only get ahead of our private attacks by such drastic measures, by decision of the regional executive committee. we annually make a decision to ban access to the ice, well, when it reaches a thickness or 7 cm. and when it freezes, when the thickness decreases to 7 see ice on the reservoirs, fragile thin and access to it is prohibited, according to rakovalnikov, for defense, access to the ice will be a separate part of a few 3 days, but they arranged minuses in this temperature yura kornelodovich viktor tanka, grodno action our children stretching to crumble around

now all of this rainfall, of course, has done some tremendous stuff here for the reservoirs. i wanted to show you the updated numbers. we're at 100% of capacity in marin. 98% for east bay m.u.d. storage. 102% at uvas. 103% at coyote. lexington now jumping up to 81% of capacity. before the storms started rolling in, we were at 41% of capacity. we've pretty much doubled lexington reservoir in about two weeks' time. sierra snowpack coming in strong, 229% for the central sierra that includes lake tahoe. let's take you through the seven-day forecast again, the ninth storm we have experienced in this series of storms coming in tomorrow. a tenth one saturday, half to one and a half inches. sunday some spotty thunderstorms. monday a quarter to a half inch. here is where it gets good. next tuesday, wednesday and thursday we're really starting to see that trend beginning to change. i'm only looking at spotty showers next wednesday and thursday's forecast. janelle, right now next week looks nothing like what we have been through, some of the best news tonight along with the drought numbe

valuable fry are declared to the reservoirs. uding the largest river in the woodland, pripyat, after the spring spawning ban, fishermen come here, from all over the republic, the most beautiful shores with pristine nature stretching more than 200 km. the area of ​​​​responsibility of the moser inter-district inspection during this period, the inspectors pay more attention in order to check amateur fishermen, we control that there are no garbage dumps also, so that people comply with law enforcement laws, so that they do not park cars closer than 30 m and do not exceed the quantity norms. kryuchkov new tactics of the state inspectorate warning of violation. the main weapon in this case is the word , they prefer to act in such a way as to catch and punish the poacher. in general, preventive work has not had to bring incredible results since 2019, about 400 km have been voluntarily commissioned. fishing nets, as a rule, people listen to the arguments of state inspection employees and try not to break the rules fishing. and chances t

. >> is important for us to see the reservoirs across the state and northern california fill up fromainstorms and then also that snowpack is very important because all of that runoff in the spring will fill up those reservoirs as well. >> valley what are we watching the reservoirs and other waterways closer tomorrow concerned about more spillover. >> this is all of us, right? >> reporter: we have had repeated atmospheric rivers joining with storm systems helping to give it a boost. that's really the other thing i want to talk about. it's not just one storm system tomorrow. it will be several different systems. i wanted to give you an overview to start. tomorrow, heavier rainfall with that storm system. atmospheric river. saturday and sunday another punch of wet weather and potentially a third storm next monday and tuesday. even beyond this we can see more coming our way. the rainfall we have had it is saturated out there. you add on tomorrow's storm system and into thursday and that's why we have this flood watch across the entire bay area. basically means just that, watch, wait, and

good news when it comes to our water supply which all means the lexington reservoir is now full. is the first time the reservoir near los gatos has spilled over nearly 4 years. a lot flowing by this afternoon, drawing a crowd. >> incredible, i had to come out here to see it . as retired firefighters would like to see the reservoir is full, and i like to see it myself, so i left to come out here and take a look at it. >> we all like to see it, all the water that flows into the creek valley water, which manages the reservoir says it is still monitoring the spill and it is not expecting any flooding along the creek. here's a look at where other large reservoirs in the area stand, all more than half full, compared that to january 1st, when they were hovering around one third full. we had no idea what what was coming for us, of course, at that point. despite all of this, california is still in a drought, technically because of all the previous dry air compounding. >> the glass is half-full and then some. >> reporting good news for once, now. >> i think they liked feeling the missed wh

the other reservoir would be lake sonoma. people can to gawk at the change today. >> the cavalry game. it's a miracle. >> sonoma has made an incredible climb from record lows. now closing in on full storage pool. >> we're almost there. we are 15,000 acre-feet short. over the next 10 days, the natural inflow will probably get us there. >> the reservoirs are not just pushing capacity. the army corps of engineers now has greater flexibility in managing lake levels, which might allow for more storage, depending on what the weather brings. >> it is exciting to think that we could go from being in such a water deficit, you know , last year and the year before, to this year, maybe having an additional volume of water and both of those reservoirs , putting them in such a better position than we have been in for a long time. >> it's the weather that holds the answers if we want more storage. because we are going to need more rain if we want to keep chipping away at the drought. >>> that is it for the news at 9:00. coming up next on the

what you're looking at is the lexington reservoir near los gatos. for the first time in years, water, as you can see there, coming down that spillway. santa clara valley water is using the spillway to release 3,200 gallons a second. that way it doesn't overwhelm coyote creek and obviously cause flooding. >>> check this out. cars lining the parking lot near the spillway this afternoon. the crowds have been gathering all day at the head of the nearby trail because they want to see the water come out of the spillway and at other reservoirs in the south bay. >> looking at the reservoir, typically there's -- at least the last years that i can remember, there's just feet and feet of rock at the edge. so to see it completely full is pretty amazing. >> all the rain certainly great for the drought, at least in the short term. but the real question is, is it enough to actually pull us out of this drought long-term? and that answer is complicated. joining me now is felicia marcus. she's a fellow at stanford's water of the west program. thank you so much for len

video that we shot yesterday the spillway was pouring. but reservoir management is getting ever more complicated, given the extreme weather that we are facing more and more now. joining us alive to talk about how we can reassure california's water supply, we have the resource manager for the california department of water resources. janine, thanks for your time. first, give us a snapshot of how well our reservoirs are doing. >> from afar, we've heard 169% of average precipitation statewide, which means that many of our reservoirs have seen substantial gains in storage, especially those reservoirs that were directly under the west parts of the storm track, and smaller reservoirs that revealed more quickly. kristen: what a difference a year makes. is this going to meet our needs for a while? looking at this, you going to say we are good, we don't need to conserve water this summer? >> guest: we should still be conserving water. it is important to recognize that many reservoirs are still in their flood control reservation, meaning that they have to hold t

the almaden reservoir did spill over. valley water is monitoring the area. people who live nearby are thrilled to have a full reservoir after years of low capacity. >> we're in a long-term, persistent drought. having a full reservoir is a great thing. you get a storm like that, the risk is you get damage. it doesn't look too bad. >> reporter: valley water is monitoring san francisquito creek, the guadalupe river, and other areas across the county that are swollen with rain. take a look at these numbers or listen to them. the lexington reservoir was at about 35% capacity on december 1st. saturday night up to 44%. sunday up to 50%, a rise of 6.5 feet. bob redell, "today in the bay." >>> damage from the weekend storm is widespread including four homes in san francisco now red tagged. water gushing into one. first respond hers to open the doors of all these homes to let the water flow through. they posted the video to social media. one neighbor described the deluge. >> it went through the backyard through the kitchen, bathrooms, living room, dining room, everywhe

we left the moscow reservoir. here it is very close even to the fishermen.hickness of the ice was almost half a meter. and this is the moscow channel. here we see the hands of an adult. he can no longer withstand the ice cover, as if breathing under the lifeguard for a second. you need to try to get out in that direction. where did you come from, because that i kept you there on the ice and it is more likely that you can still get out. if you look closely, you can see traces of snowmobiles on the january holidays. two people were rescued here. the equipment went under water. many people think that it is 30 ° there, which means that it is not 100% frozen, it does not freeze visually, it is ice, but this is not ice, they fell into such a trap. children in irkutsk have one child and a cold hangar. i got out on my own on the second, adults came to the rescue. central russia is now generally on the threshold. thaw on wednesday in the moscow region is zero, and by the end weeks will be plus epiphany frosts should not be expected. this winter is very heterogeneous

the uvas reservoir has been overflowing causing the flooding near gilroy. other reservoirs that are some of the larger ones are really filling up fast like the lexington reservoir. thinking about a month ago it was 19% of capacity. so that is a huge gain. looking at the coyote reservoir, the east bay mud stores are at 93%. 94% on average in the north bay. we are most likely going to continue to see the numbers go up in some of the reservoirs, unfortunately, may continue to overflow. we're watching river stages. right now the greatest concern is the russian river at guerneville still flooding at this point. there will still be flooding over the next couple of days. in terms of rain, we are going to see pockets of heavy downpours moving through. once again, we're seeing a bit of a break now. still there could be some intense rainfall, gusty winds, and even some lightning and small hail. at 2:00 much of the bay area is taking a break except for the north bay and then we'll start to see another round coming in this evening out ahead the next approaching storm t

the first place. live at lexington reservoir. nbc bay area news. >>> our coverage of the storms and the trouble they brought continues throughout our newscast. coming up at 5:30, the dangers caused by the growing number of potholes. what should you do if you run over one and it damages your car? it happened on the peninsula today. >>> the annual dr. martin luther king jr. march returned to san francisco today. it was paused for two years because of the pandemic. as nbc bay area's sergio quintana reports, it is an important event to share with your children and grandchildren. >> one of the hallmarks is a prayer before crossing the bridge at willy mays plaza. it is to remember the march in selma in 1965. his march was just days after the notorious bloody sunday march where alabama state troopers beat participants with billy clubs who were marching for voting rights. nearly 60 years later, lots of parents and grandparents marched. tara brought her daughter. >> when i'm gone, i need to make sure that she understands our history and we

is at 101 prs, 110% of capacity for the coyote reservoir. the uvas reservoir is at 106%. then here is a look at the sierra. it is really still coming down there. they've been closing, reopening roads for avalanche control, and of course the chain controls are still up. we now look at our sierra snowpack that is at 247% of normal. if we don't get any more snow, we are still going to end the season over what's normal. so we're looking at a a lot of of snow on the ground. we are expecting another foot to possibly foot and a half over the next few days, but we are looking at much dryer conditions. and then also for the bay area, with all the rain that we've had recently, we could just wrap things up now with no more rainfall. we don't want that to happen, but if we did, we would still end with a normal season because of all of the storms that have rolled through and don't want to move out of the santa cruz mountains. this heavy rain cell is moving over the santa cruz summit. that's going to be heading toward morgan hill, as well as gilroy within the next few minutes. all of th

incredible. >> we like to see the reservoir being full. >> has for some of the larger reservoirs in our area, they are at or close to where they should be this time of year. compare that to january 1st, when they were over halfway to their historical average. what a difference two weeks makes. in spite of all of that, california is still in a drought. >> before i become a guy who says, you know, we are still in a drought. i want to start with the good news. the last few weeks have been fun. for the water here so far, you start measuring that on october 1st. we are now at 21.75 inches in downtown san francisco. that's effectively an entire water years worth. great news. no mistake about it . we need new perspective. if we look at the last few years, it can be easy to forget how about 2020 and 2021 were. those are the totals. we should get close to 23 inches. nine inches and 2021. 11 inches and 2020. this is a cumulative problem that cannot be fixed with two weeks of good rain. if you look at the last four years, four years would be 91 inches. where are we for those four years, including

that's the good part is, you know, the reservoirs, the bad part is landslides. road closures. a lot of debris in the roadways. evacuations kron four's terisa stasio has more from mill valley >> yellow caution tape stretched over the driveway of this 3 unit complex on shoreline and mill valley after growing concerns of a landslide. us we've actually are engineers out there working now, but it appears that it's it's isolated to of course, what it are much use the risk is or isn't much bigger. slight coming. >> is it stable now the area where the slide came that undermined things like that. so that just looking at the meeting, impact area, but what might happen? plenty baker cone is the assistant emergency manager of marin county, another landslide. the county dealt with on wednesday was here off of bolinas road. >> section gave way public works. crews put in a signal and limited traffic to one lane. however. >> further upon bolinas, the road was shut down all the way to highway one due to falling so 2 are pretty well instrument. >> we still a lot of water draining down to the wa

the longer these wet conditions continue the better off for reservoir storage. janine jones of the california department of water resources keeping a close eye on lake oroville, 80 miles northeast of sacramento, the reservoir, a key asset in the state's water project, and thanks to all this rain, it's now 99% of average for this time of year. still not all reservoirs have been reaping the same benefits. amid this wave of what weather folsom lake, for example east of sacramento. it's a good sized reservoir a million acre feet and it began making flood control releases shortly after christmas. but that was simply because it was in the path of some of the wettest storms. lake shasta at the northern end of the state is a much larger reservoir, so it takes longer to fill and also it didn't see some of that early moisture that other reservoirs did. lake shasta's water level currently sitting at 80% of its historical average, meantime, lake mendocino picking up so much rain over the first two weeks of january that it's gone from nearly bone dry around this time last yea

we don't get all that into the reservoirs. that's not all coming our way. it will definitely help make no mistake about this. this january has been excellent for the drought. you want a technical designation one way or the other. wait for the state to come out on some sort of official statement later. it's great news. here is a look at first alert doppler. you have plenty of action now. we have to focus on this line of thunderstorms that is about to come in on the golden gate and south bay too. you both have been put under the national weather service special weather statements they put out in situations like this to raise awareness. you're going to get thunder, small hail. one comes across the marin headlands, the city, golden gate and over towards the east bay. richmond, oakland, you'll get this in the next 30 minutes or so. that complex of thunderstorms you can see a little more coming in off the marin headlands. we're seeing another one of those come in for the south bay now. watch the lightning down here. maybe not as much. maybe getting absorbed in the

all 7 of the reservoirs are full. this is alpine lake phil, to the top.and when we walk around, you can see there's still water that's trembling in. well, this is the scene currently. it wasn't always like this. this is some video from 2021 of how the reservoir is a marine county looked then versus now as of this morning, all 7 of marin counties, reservoirs are at full capacity. but there's still a lot more rain to come. and we look at numbers. marine water dot org says the current reservoir storage is that 100% thie time last year it was at 95%. however, normally this time of year, it's it's it's 78%. so you can see this year and last a bit higher than others. officials are currently looking for a strategic plan as to what to do with the water levels as they continue to out space storage levels when it comes to an exact plan that is yet to be announced. officials, however, did put out a statement saying run water remains committed to ensuring a long-term resilient water supply. when it comes to how this water and rainfall is really going to affect the dr

now, the second largest reservoir. that's the lake oroville is at 99% of its historical average going from 37% full to 54% full here in the bay area. all 7 reservoirs in marin county are full and sonoma lake is at 99% of its historical average as well. >> lake sonoma is and about 223,000 acre feet. in to give you perspective, the top of the red, the top of the water conservation pool. this 245,000 acre feet. so it is over 90% full for the north bay. and and and so the county right now, things are looking great. and and we hope to continue see the storms, maybe not intensity. >> well, the state, 17 largest reservoirs, 8 are currently above average. and even as we get into a drier period runoff from all the rain, we'll continue to flow into the reservoirs for the foreseeable future. coming up on the kron 4 morning news. >> stormy weather forced the indefinite closure. well, the major roadway in the east residents in the area are now coping. plus, the national weather service says the rate of snowfall and lake tahoe over t

reservoirs. forget about all the other territory, but just those six reservoirs to cover san francisco 49 square 5 ft of water. but here's the problem. it would take 19 more saturday size storms 19 more to get those reservoirs up to their traditional levels. and that means the drought is still on reporting live. tom baker ktvu. fox two news. alright thanks, tom 19 certainly a sobering number, but every bit helps when new pictures coming into the newsroom are showing us damage from the storm. the owner of the restaurant rintaro in san francisco south of market district, posted on instagram these pictures and you can see they did have to evacuate the damage. bad enough of the restaurants actually gonna be closed this week. taro had actually expected a big crowd last night. proceed the rory, which consists of traditional japanese new year foods. excuse me and mx three fitness had to shut down its castro district facility on market street. because of the flood damage. you can see strong water made its way into the building. we haven't heard how long this site will actually closed. mx three, has two o

it is making a big dent in the extreme drought. reservoirs are filling up and while things have vastly improved, it is too soon to say the drought is over. our reporter, tim, checked out some of the reservoirs this afternoon and breaks out -- break some of the numbers. tim: the rain has been coming down hard and without some much-needed relief for the drought. >> the exceptional and extreme drought has completely almost shrunk. tim: most of the state is an moderate or severe stages, big change from where we were months ago. this comes on the heel of encouraging news from the snowpack in the sierra. i sat down with our news meteorologist sandhya patel who says while the numbers are encouraging, we have a while to go. sandhya: it took years to make, we cannot just eliminate it with a few days or months of rain. tim: many areas have seen benefits. this behind me is a reservoir. after nearly two weeks of consistent storms, its water level has risen substantially. is not the only one in the bay area. in east bay and southbay, reservoir levels have

but as we heard in robert's story we have gratitude for the rain that we have that's filling up the reservoirs right now. we use it wisely and we're making some gains here at least in the short term. just putting some perspective on it. let's take a look back on december the 26th before those storms hit. you can see that deep red color through the central valley and also that very, very darkest red color down towards fresno. i'm going to go ahead and advance this and you will be able to see how all of that dark red goes away. the worst drought categories. let's take it back to december the 26th, put a little bit of some number perspectives on this and you can see the extreme and exceptional drought accounted for 35.49% of california and again fading it back to the current view. you can see it is gone. extreme and exceptional drought wiped away across the map. we are still in a drought, though. 45% of california remains in a drought. here is the other side of things, 4.2% of california is abnormally dry, that's the lowest drought category, right up here to eureka. we're just a couple storms awa

which are now basically full and recovered. >> the other reservoir would be lake sonoma, where people came to gawk at the change today. >> like the cavalry came. it's a miracle. >> reporter: sonoma has made an incredible climb from record lows, it is no closing in on a full storage pool. >> we are about 15,000 acre-feet short, i think that will dissipate. >> reporter: these are not just pushing capacity, the army corps of engineers now has greater flex ability in managing lake levels, which might allow for more storage, depending on what the weather brings. >> it's exciting to think that we could go from being in such a water deficit, you know, last year, and the year before, to this year, maybe having an additional volume of water in both of those reservoirs, you know, putting us in such a better condition than we have been in for a long time. >> reporter: we are going to need more rain if we want to keep chipping away at the drought. >> paul heggen, that water sure is refreshing to see. it is great to see. we do need a place to store it. >> we need to store it and a short break from
