(Sacramento, CA) — Many California farmers are celebrating as state regulators increase their water allocations after recent storms. The Department of Water Resources says the allocation is now 15-percent of what was requested, up from 10-percent in December.

This assessment does not include the results of any of the storms that hit California since February 1st. That means officials may revise their decision again next month. The State Water Project says rain runoff is helping to fill Lake Oroville and San Luis Reservoir.

As of Wednesday, the statewide snowpack is 86-percent of average for this date, and 69-percent of its April 1st average, which is considered the peak snowpack for the season.
