a gang busters start, it had a pretty terrible finish making conservation, the most critical and at least the last three years, the average snowpack was at 4% of normal at the phillips station in el dorado county, where those measurements were taken today. statewide the snowpack is at 38% of average ktvu tom vacar now joining us with how this deepening drought rather requires more out of the box thinking thinking. lexington reservoir, like all south bay reservoirs are well below their normal levels and like like sonoma, most north bay reservoirs are hurting too. but what about the really big picture? california's big five reservoirs currently hold only 40% of their capacity. on this day, they have historically averaged 55% the rest of their spaces reserved for snow melt and additional reigns to catch all the water they can and still prevent flooding. but the existing snowpack is just not enough to overcome the shortage and april rains are normally

half of march. rains making in april miracle highly unlikely. we are calling on all californians to use water wisely to conserve as much as you can. on friday, the federal agency that runs the best central valley project told the santa clara valley water district. that it's normal allocation of water critical to its needs has been slashed to only what is necessary for public health and safety of the messages. this drought is serious. i mean, this is this is something that again we have not seen ever. how can it be dealt with short term valley water is buying emergency water from some of our partners. but really, the reality is we have to use less water. having no water is not an option. most immediate option can serve as never before. short term recycle and purify wastewater we treat and discharge into our oceans a tremendous amount of wastewater that we could be reusing for a variety of purposes. massive

desalination plants would present california with a limitless supply of water really out of the box. possibilities include pipelines to water rich areas. another build a fleet of giant water tanker ships to bring in a steady supply of water from water rich areas, as has been done in the caribbean. moving that water over those long distances is very energy intensive. it's very expensive. it requires a lot of infrastructure that we just don't have. yes, alternatives are expensive. but the costs of too little or no water at all are far far greater. tom vacar ktvu, fox two news fabulous day if you enjoy blue skies and temperatures right about average around the bay, unseasonably warm for inland communities and temperatures will continue to climb getting into saturday. here's a look across the bay a beautiful shot there. alcatraz and the golden gate. you do have a little bit of he's out there, but not too bad. and i do expect

yeah, ultimately, he was hit by a car. you're not survive? yeah just really terrible to hear, you know, living in and in the community where you have a lot of people a lot of cars in these type of things do they normally live in these environments? peregrine falcons do actually almost more than anywhere now live in urban environments. their natural habitat is steep cliff faces and legends of that sort and as human beings have created essentially the perfect steep cliff faces for caravan felton's to nest on and hunt from the pigeons are one of their great items and sell urban areas are really good environment for the species, but just looking creatures their andean grenell have been staples of cal campus for the past few years. now, what does this loss means to the berkeley community. um so we've been hearing a lot

will happen to her eggs? and what do you know about this possible new mate? um so we can't say for sure what's going to happen to these eggs? but judging by how quickly this new maid has arrived and started to form a bond with me, it is very possible that these two eggs that are annie and greenalls will survive and be successful, and perhaps he raised alongsides this new individual. we hope to see that happen very soon. and at one point, these peregrine falcons were endangered. what's the situation for them right now? so paraben falcons are one of these wonderful success stories when it comes to wildlife conservation. they were nearly extricated entirely from the united states there. we're a

total of two pairs of peregrine falcons. breeding and all of california. and honestly that represented all of the united states. um, but, uh. starting in the 19 sixties and moving forward, a lot of activism work and a lot of research and a lot of conservation works with place impairment. falcons are now no longer endangered and they are now becoming so common that we are finding peregrine falcons actually. battling over territories like we're seeing here on completely their magnificent creatures. it was we continue to look live here from the nest where grenelle and anne lipped. we hope that things progress and the eggs are able to come to hatch, sometimes settling schofield with cal falcons. thank you so much for joining us this evening and sharing what you know about what happened here. thank you. what can i do? but um, really create

this comes as the national average prices. for these proteins are already higher between three and 16% over a year ago and now increased prices for animal feed around the world. corn, soybean wheat caused by russia's invasion will force prices even higher. pork and chicken are particularly susceptible to the increased animal feed prices 50% of the cost to produce pork comes from animal feed. about 70 to 80% of the production cost for chicken comes from animal feed forgot outrageous like the beef did last year, then be concerned and you your chicken would back off, there wouldn't be buying it. now as far as preparing for these price hikes that are expected to come before june. butcher vinnie here recommends buying pork and ground beef and chicken and bulk and freezing what you can now reporting from scotch plains, new jersey, lydia, who for fox business. inflation is also
