Images show Lake Cachuma levels before and after rainy season
Cachuma Lake levels have risen from 36 percent to 78 percent since Jan. 31, according to the County of Santa Barbara Public Works.
Photos posted on Facebook shows the stark difference between January and today. The boat launch point at the lake has moved and noticeable dry areas are now beneath feet of water.
Public works says the recent rain has ended the drought emergency, but water conservation is still needed to help the supply remain at a sustainable level.
