Compared to this time last year, the lake is actually 1.7% fuller than it was last year, but the difference is minimal compared to what it should actually be. If the drought continues through the next several years, the question remains- will the reservoir dry out, and if it does, will farmers and agriculturists in the area survive without their water allocations each year?
