The latest snowpack survey in Sierra Nevada shows the impact of this year's dry winter on California.
Sean de Guzman, with the state Department of Water Resources, says the snow-pack average statewide is 59-percent of average.
"This snowpack survey today on April 1 is actually the most important of the year. On April 1 is when we would typically see the peak snowpack in terms of water content and so that's why we really want to know how much water is in that snow before it starts to melts off," he says.
He says the northern and central Sierra Nevada have gotten more snow than the southern parts.
Federal stats show 90-percent of the state is dealing with some form of drought.
Most cities have enough water storage but there's concern that there won't be enough water for farmers.
