What a difference a wet winter makes! Just two years ago, several of California's reservoirs looked like they were on their last legs, with water levels so low many appeared they were in danger of running dry. But after dozens of atmospheric river storms pummeled the state with heavy rain and mountain snow measured in dozens of feet earlier this year, the state's reservoirs have made a dramatic turnaround. Photographer Josh Edelson has been documenting the reversal of fortune at California's Lake Oroville, first capturing water levels at historic lows in the heart of the drought in September 2021. He returned this April to the same spots to illustrate the radical rise in water levels. Swipe through to see the before and after images.
