Lake levels near, far

Note: Most everybody has a favorite lake and destination; find yours on the list, and then follow the numbers over winter and spring as lake levels rise. To determine the percentage of full for each lake, I worked with water districts that provide each reservoir’s current storage level in acre-feet, then divided that number into the same lake’s maximum storage volume.
