Several Central Coast reservoirs are gathering water from this week's storms.
In Santa Barbara County, the Cachuma and Gibraltar Reservoirs, both at their lowest levels in decades, saw an increase in depth. Gibraltar gained about one foot, while Cachuma saw about fifth of a foot.
The reservoirs in San Luis Obispo County are seeing increases from rainfall as well.
Noah Evans is the Water Supply Supervisor for Whale Rock Reservoir, which supplies water to the City of San Luis Obispo, Cal Poly, the California Men's Colony and the Cayucos area, and says the reservoir has dropped over these years of drought.
"Through this week of storms we've had about two and three-quarters inches of rain, which has been a significant rainfall for this short period of time," he said. "The lake level has gone up two-tenths of a foot."
Lake Lopez increased a quarter foot.
In Monterey County, Lake Nacimiento saw an increase of half of a foot of water, while San Antonio saw no measurable increase.
