Lowest (1992) and Highest (2023) Water Level in Lake Berryessa||

Lake Berryessa is the largest lake in Napa County, California. This reservoir is formed by the Monticello Dam, which provides water and hydroelectricity to the North Bay region of the San Francisco Bay Area. If water levels in the Lake Berryessa reservoir at the top of Monticello Dam rise too high, the excess water begins whirlpooling into a big hole, seemingly carved into the surface of the lake. Known fondly by locals as the 'Glory Hole', the hole is not actually a hell-mouth, although the vortex sure does look like it. ( Source: Wikipedia)

Looks a lot lower in the early 90s than it did in 20, 21, 22.

[@jrmed7983]

Experts and state government would say otherwise

Its crazy when you look at home in a different perspective and the year of time ..made me think back where I was and what weather events played the most I've experienced in these years! Thanks 😊

Why does the satellite footage in the 2020s make the surrounding area of berryessa look like Mars? I know there's been a lot of fires but not to that extent

Ok so seems like business as usual. Climate change hysteria at its best

[@xanderz161]

Technically, the Salton Sea shouldn't exist. It was, pretty much a dry lake bed before 1906. A canal collapse filled it up by accident.

[@andrewgradziel8182]

bro this aint the salton sea lol the salton sea was actually caused by LA trying to divert the Colorado river

[@RobertPierce-ix5mn]

Things change. That's all there is to it and ain't got nothing to do with what the Democrats are talking about. Things just changed

[@1DS9]

Why does the level change so much

[@lexi1031]

Change in temp. Salinity, if winter was colder means More snow on mountains that can melt in summer, how strong the summer was … etc

[@amym8073]

rain amounts, and it's also water used by solano county.

[@BurnsRubber]

This is an artificial lake created by damming a river for water storage (a reservoir). Its level falls in summer, when California is dry, and rises in the winter when the state receives rain and snow. During drought the lake level will fall dramatically. During extraordinarily wet winters like this year the lake will fill up.

Imagine that, we have had low water levels in the past but it recovered. All this hysteria the media creates is getting OLD!

[@PeterKilkus]

@@lexi1031 Lake Berryssa gets no mountain snow, only rainfall affects its level.

When will humans wake up?

[@elijahsabo3846]

Usually in the morning
