Putah Creek Spilleth its Banks
We’ve been getting a fair amount of late-season rain—in the past day we’ve had about 0.90” of rain here. Upstream, Lake Berryessa is at capacity, at which point overflow water spills down through the Glory Hole, an event that started this season in the middle of March. So there is much water in the creek now. Just east of Old Davis Road, there is a lot of ponding, inspiring thoughts of wetlands restoration work. And the water birds are definitely having a good time.
