Wow,interesting but kinda sad to see such low water conditions,doubt if last night's squirt made a difference.

rain in our area does nothing to the level at Perris... The lake has very little runoff... We'd need several good storms to make any difference here locally.. San Vicente is full, Silverwood is Full...They need to put water into Perris, Diamond Valley and Castaic... The northern lakes all got water...Clear Lake is close to if not full, Shasta got 15-20+ feet.., Oroville got 30+ more feet of water... we need some too..

Instead of spending sixty billion dollars on a high speed rail system, that money should go toward updating the infrastructure needed to move that water from Northern to Southern California (without harming any delta smelt, of course.)
Well the Perris draw down was done on purpose, correct, for the construction? So even if we had a monsoon of say 5 feet of rain and it raised Perris 5 feet they would just release the extra water.
Now as for DVL....................
according the article linked in the OP, perris is down lower than what is required to do the dam work. it could theoretically still get some water and raise the level a bit before they needed to take it out.
This recent drawdown has nothing to do with the dam project... It has everything to do with the drought, water supply and demand for water... If the lake got 5 ft of water somehow then it would stay in there until they needed IT AS WELL...

Boy, i really miss that east end at perris and all that good shoreline tangle foot
