Are California's reservoirs half-full or half-empty? The state's largest reservoirs—Lake Oroville and Lake Shasta—are exceedingly low for this time of year, with the former at 55 percent of capacity and the latter at 40 percent of capacity. However, my snarky question isn't about water levels, but about policy makers' attitudes toward our water crisis.
Do California officials see the current, dire drought situation as an opportunity or an unfixable crisis?
