FILE - In this Thursday, Oct. 30, 2014, file photo, houseboats float in the drought-lowered waters of Oroville Lake near Oroville, Calif. On Tuesday, Dec. 1, 2015, the Department of Water Resources reported that Lake Oroville, the State Water Project's principal reservoir, is dipping toward its record low set in 1977. Public water agencies that serve millions of residents in drought-weary California might only receive 10 percent of expected supplies in 2016 _ half of the amount that flowed to them this year through the state’s massive system of reservoirs and canals, state officials say.
