It was just last week when the federal drought monitor declared that California is no longer in a severe drought.  But, that's not to say the drought is over in the state.  Water experts say it will take a number of storms to catch up with years of dry weather.  It's one of the reasons voters in California decided to try and do something about it in the form of water storage.

In 2014, voters passed proposition 1 which set aside billions of dollars for more water storage in California.  To see if that money is being used yet, KCBS Radio's Bret Burkhart and Patti Reising spoke with Felicia Marcus, former chair of the State Water Resources Control Board and a visiting fellow at Stanford University’s Water in the West Program.
