SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Today, Reclamation is notifying Sacramento River Settlement contractors, San Joaquin River Exchange contractors, San Joaquin Settlement contractors and Refuge contractors that the forecasted inflow to Shasta Lake is currently projected at greater than 3.2 million acre-feet, and we are in a "Shasta Non-Critical" year.
California Department of Water Resources' Bulletin 120 was updated on June 4, showing a large increase in Shasta Lake inflow since the May 1 forecast. The forecasted inflow to Shasta Lake is currently greater than 3.2 million acre-feet, changing the previous determination of a "Shasta Critical" to "Shasta Non-Critical" water year as defined in certain Central Valley Project contracts.
There are no other updates to Central Valley Project water supplies at this time. Water supply updates will be made if appropriate and posted at https://www.usbr.gov/mp/cvp-water/index.html.
