Overall storage still less than normal in seven states

Water storage in reservoirs across South, West worrisome

While precipitation has declined in these regions, usage levels remain the same, disturbing storage capacity

New method can help predict reservoir levels three months in advance

Advance warning about likely deficit in reservoir storage could help in water management during droughts
