Lake Berryessa reached full pool over the weekend, and water naturally flowed into the Morning Glory Spillway.

A video captured Lake Berryessa water levels naturally spilling down the fascinating Morning Glory Spillway after the largest reservoir in Napa County hit full pool over the weekend.After years of drought, several reservoirs in California reached concerningly low water levels in the summer of 2022. However, an abnormally wet winter last year alleviated much of the state's drought and replenished the lakes.

Newsweek reached out to the Bureau of Reclamation via email for comment.The stunning video came a week after the Bureau of Reclamation office noted that water was beginning to lap over the spillway's edge.'The Morning Glory Spillway at Lake Berryessa is in use! The spillway, which is 72-feet wide, drops water 200 ft. down a narrow shaft and flows into Putah Creek,' the office posted last week.
