Documenting the very low waterline along the shore of Lake Matthews in Riverside California for this Skywatch Friday post.
Much of this water arrives from Northern California and the Colorado River both of which are also experiencing drought conditions along with the rest of the Western United States.
If the forecast of a good strong El Nino condition proves correct this picture will be different in a couple of years as reservoirs and ground water are replenished and the lake returns to its normal depth.
When was this image taken? Just curious.

Early September 2015 as I recall, may have been late August.

Lived in S CA most of my life, but never been to Lake Matthews!! Really hoping we get the predicted rains and that this pic looks much different in the not-too-distant future!!
