California hopes to capture stormwater from El Niño storms
Original: Will El Niño have an upside? California tries to capitalize on big storms
California is looking to turn a potentially wet El Niño winter into an opportunity, pursuing efforts to capture stormwater from the big storms expected to hit the state. Officials want to store runoff to recharge groundwater supplies and boost reservoirs, rather than letting it flow out to sea, as drought-strained water systems seek any advantage from the pattern.
Why now: El Niño is expected to bring major storms to California, raising questions about whether the state can turn them into a water-supply benefit.
