As the snowpack melts in the spring and summer, even more significant flooding is expected, said Karla Nemeth, the DWR director. Flooding will pose a particular challenge in the Tulare Lake Basin, where the formerly dried out body of water, once the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi, has returned amid the record rain.

Officials are focused on public safety and flood protection and are keeping a close eye on the central valley and the Tulare Basin, she said.

The state is in a unique moment, Nemeth said, and still must manage its water efficiently.
