2019 water year sees above-average rainfall
Don Pedro
Don Pedro Reservoir is filled to the brim with 1,717,470 acre feet of water thanks to a 2019 water year that saw 45.65 inches of rainfall — nearly 10 inches more than the historical average for the area, or about 125 percent of average for the date.
After a lackluster amount of rainfall throughout the San Joaquin Valley in 2018, the recent end to the 2019 precipitation year was a welcome sight for community members wary of drought thanks to plenty of storms that brought above-average numbers.
