1. Don Pedro Reservoir Storage Outlook Has Improved — But Still Below Last Year MID's combined storage stands at 513,734 acre-feet, up from 503,000 acre-feet at this time last year. The projected end-of-season reservoir elevation has improved significantly from the last report (from 763.7 ft to 774.2 ft), though it is still expected to come in roughly 9 feet below last year’s referenced end-of-season level (~783 ft). Warmer-than-average temperatures and very low snowpack (only 26% of normal for this date) mean the district is relying heavily on earlier-than-usual snowmelt and stored water rather than continued inflows.
