The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as
this nomination's talk page,
the article's talk page or
Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
The article is new enough, long enough, neutral and not copyvio. I couldn't access the NY Times article, but the hook claim can be verified also using Nature Climate Change. The hook is interesting and formatted and written appropriately. The nominator is exempt from the QPQ requirement. Good to go. —

Picture in the lead
The selection of
Lake Oroville for the lead is not good: the lake since 2023 is either completely full (like, now) or almost full. The lack of water in the broad Southwest apparently continues. I propose to find pictures of either
Falcon Dam or
Amistad Dam that are nearly empty.
