After the three driest years in California history, a wet winter this year allowed for the refilling of Diamond Valley Lake, the largest reservoir in Southern California. The lake in Riverside County, east of Los Angeles, was refilling swiftly Monday. Last full in 2019, the lake saw 40% of its water used the past three years, according to news reports. 'With the help of these recent storms, and the continued efficient water use of Southern Californians, we expect this year to be able to nearly replace all the withdrawals from storage we made over the past three years,' Metropolitan Water District of Southern California General Manager Adel Hagekhalil said in a statement.
