California's Drought Deepens During Heatwave

REDDING, CALIFORNIA - AUGUST 5: : In this aerial view the Shasta Lake, California's largest water reservoir (4,552,000 acre-feet) feeding the Sacramento River, is at 30% capacity and at historically low levels impacting hydroelectric power, tourism and agriculture as viewed under slightly smoky conditions on August 5, 2021, near Redding, California. Shasta Lake is the key source for collecting and delivering large amounts of water through the Central Valley and into the Sacramento River Delta where the California State Water Project (aka California Aqueduct) begins, moving water to Southern California and all regions in between.
