California bets big storms from El Niño can pay off
Original: Will El Niño have an upside? California tries to capitalize on big storms

Officials and water managers are looking at ways to capture and store the heavy rainfall and snowpack to refill reservoirs and recharge groundwater after years of drought, while also bracing for flooding risks that come with the wet pattern.
Why now: Back-to-back storms and a strong El Niño are raising both flooding fears and hopes for drought relief across California.
