For the first time in 25 years, California is 100% drought-free. A series of powerful winter storms, heavy rainfall, and a robust snowpack have replenished reservoirs, revived rivers, and restored groundwater supplies across the state.

This remarkable recovery strengthens California’s water security, providing more reliable supplies for agriculture, supporting vital ecosystems, and meeting the needs of growing urban communities.

Moving forward, the state must focus on expanding and modernizing water infrastructure to capture, store, and manage this abundance, ensuring that today’s surplus can help safeguard against future droughts.
