So. Much. Water. At peak, Oroville dam was releasing 100,000 CFS down the spillway to try to reduce the reservoir level. That works out to 64,627 MGD. If that many million gallons per day is hard to get your head around, the USGS says the average Californian uses 181 gallons a day, which seems high, but going with that number, the one second of flow would be about 4132 days or 11.3 years of usage.
