Oodles of Algae

Joey Rozier

In contrast to the bone-dry Chesbro reservoir, the Calero Reservoir had what seemed to be plenty of water. There were a lot of people out on boats and jet skis around the water (including the ranger boat, which was rounding people up half an hour before sunset). Apparently the Calero is just over 50% full, while the Chesbro was about 5% full.

I wonder if the differences are natural or part of the reservoir management. (Apparently the reservoirs are part of different watersheds.)

As for the algae... I wonder if this is why our Brita pitcher grows a green slime on the bottom after being left on the counter for a few days.
