Most recent images from May show the outer bathtub ring completely gone, after Lake Shasta filled for the second year in a row.
Lake Shasta is completely full for the second year in a row.Satellite images shared by the NASA Earth Observatory show how full the California reservoir is now. This is in stark contrast to in 2022, when the region was on the brink of a water crisis.One image, captured on May 7 by the Landsat 8 satellite, shows the lake full of blue water. A comparative image captured on April 24, 2022, when the reservoir was only 39 percent, shows a very different picture.
Although the rain did not reach quite the same levels as last year, California was battered with several atmospheric rivers that meant good things for the state's water supply. Shasta's water levels began rising steadily in mid-January.Thanks to 2023, however, the reservoir started this year already much higher than it was in the same period last year, meaning it did not take quite as much rain to replenish it to full capacity.
