In the midst of ongoing and seemingly relentless drought conditions, one of California’s important drinking water reservoirs has nearly run dry.
Lake Cachuma, a once-huge reservoir that supplies water to the city of Santa Barbara and surrounding areas, has shrunk dramatically – this summer, water levels dropped to an all-time record low of 7 percent capacity.
And there’s little hope of relief. Levels are expected to drop even further by January – to the point where water can no longer be distributed from Lake Cachuma.
‘A future without water’
This is bad news for the nearly half a million residents of Santa Barbara County who depend on the reservoir for drinking water and crop irrigation.
