At Lake Casitas, the drought is dragging on

Lake Casitas is back! 🌊 After years of drought, this California reservoir has made a remarkable recovery, reaching full storage capacity for the first time since 2006. These #Landsat 9 images show Lake Casitas before and after its recovery. In November 2022, the lake’s capacity had dropped below 30%, one of the lowest levels since 1970. Two years later, on November 18, 2024, the reservoir held 96% of its capacity, or 126% of its historical average for that date. https://go.nasa.gov/4grwDRW | La
