With El Niño sitting in and it's bountiful rain that it has brought the California drought surely must be over? This isn't true. California is in a four year drought. One years rain cannot replenish snow caps nor reservoirs. California water shed highly relies on both of these. Even we get above average water our ground and soil are severely dry. The new water is causing land slides and flash floods and isn't be taken into our ground water. Even an above average rain season will not be able to fix the drought. This is a multi year project.
