• The Sierra Nevada snowpack's water content has reached 86% of normal levels, easing concerns of a 'snow drought'.
• Major reservoirs are well above average levels, thanks to runoff from last year's historic snowpack.
• State water agencies serving 27 million people will receive 15% of requested supplies, up from December's initial 10% allocation.
• The recent precipitation has improved the state's overall water situation, potentially leading to a good water year.
