This is the best summary I could come up with:


The ongoing atmospheric river has caused extremely heavy rainfall and high winds in the state in recent days.

California has suffered from severe droughts in recent years, making this kind of rainfall rare.

"What happens to the reservoirs will depend, not only on these present storms, but what happens over the rest of February, March, and April," Becky Bolinger, an assistant state climatologist at the Colorado Climate Center at Colorado State University told Newsweek.

"It is when all that accumulated snow begins to melt, that we will have a good idea of how those reservoir levels will respond.

The lake has been drying up due to severe drought in the region which has plagued water resources for years.

Neighbouring Lake Powell, which is the second largest manmade reservoir on the Colorado River, has also seen lower levels than usual.


The original article contains 489 words, the summary contains 139 words. Saved 72%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

What is geoscience?

Geoscience (also called Earth Science) is the study of Earth. Geoscience includes so much more than rocks and volcanoes, it studies the processes that form and shape Earth's surface, the natural resources we use, and how water and ecosystems are interconnected. Geoscience uses tools and techniques from other science fields as well, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and math! Read more...
