Heavy Rains in San Francisco Area Bringing Needed Drinking Water
While many residents of the San Francisco Bay area are getting tired of the seemingly endless rain that has beset this region lately, they should be happy that this spate of weather has brought levels at the 10 reservoirs and underground basins in Santa Clara County up so far 5 percent.
The more rain that falls, the Santa Clara Valley Water District (SCVWD) won't have to impose mandatory water restrictions it has been considering for this coming summer.
"If you look at the total numbers right now, we've already received double the amount of rain that we received all of last season," said SCVWD spokeswoman Susan Siravo. "So we're doing pretty good in 2008, so far."
So, just all those who are unhappy it is raining, remember that if you do not want water rationing in your future, you need all the rain water days you can get, as reported by KNTV-TV Bay Area and published by MSNBC.
