In 2015, California’s snowpack was at just 5 percent of its historic average.
Thanks in large part to a very wet winter, the state’s snowpack on March 30 was 164 percent higher than the historic average.
On average, the melted snow provides about 30 percent of California’s water needs.
But that doesn’t mean Californians should start using water frivolously.
In his announcement, Brown pointed out, "This drought emergency is over, but the next drought could be around the corner.
Conservation must remain a way of life."
