1. Gary Esslinger:

   It’s now in a crisis. All the reservoirs. There is no water to put in the lake. It’s gotta come from snowpack. And climate projections are saying we’re just not going to get what we used to get as snowpack.

2. Paul Betancourt:

   We are draining a finite supply of water, it was ugly last year, and it's going to get uglier this year California is increasing distribution from a separate state-operated system of reservoirs and canals with fewer mandatory obligations. The State Water Project announced last month that The State Water Project could provide local agencies and farmers 15 percent of the water they requested, up from 5 percent last year. Some communities and endangered wildlife that rely on federal water will receive some water but still suffer cuts. Urban areas, including the San Francisco Bay Area and Sacramento area, will receive a quarter of typical water allotments but could receive more if public health is threatened. The water in the snowpack, California's primary water source, is at a fifth of its normal level, according to state officials. Federal officials said they don't expect a snow survey next week to show improved conditions. With enough precipitation, The State Water Project can provide more water later in the year. Paul Wegner, president of the California Farm Bureau Federation, said the federal government's announcement is another sign California needs to speed up construction of water storage projects and to reform laws requiring the government to prioritize water to preserve the environment and fish species.

3. Punchi Banda Herath:

   It happened to me in 2011 and again in 2013, there were floods earlier in the year, but by the time I went to do the planting toward the end of the year there was no water left. The small reservoirs in this region can't hold that much water when it rains, and run dry very fast when drought sets in.

4. George Madhavan:

   We even had warning signs about crocodiles (which had been spotted in the reservoirs) to keep people away.

5. Ted Cooke:

   It's a pretty awful year, last year wasn't so bad as far as the snowpack went, but with the higher temperatures and drier soils that we're still experiencing this year, we're seeing even less runoff that actually makes it into the waterways and in the reservoirs.
