After weeks of torrential rain across California, the state's major reservoirs have seen huge gains in water level.

This has also paralleled the widespread lifting of drought conditions across California: U.S. drought monitor data has shown that between January 3 and January 10, the percentage of the state experiencing "extreme drought"—the Drought Monitor's second most-severe level—dropped from 27.10 to 0.32 percent.
