State experiences one of the driest years on record

California needs a dose of luck and a drenching of water next year.

Tuesday was the last day of the 2014 water year and it's been one of the driest on record.

California had less than 60 percent of its average rainfall this year. The major reservoirs are only at about 36 percent of capacity the state has less water in storage than during the low point of the last drought in the late 1970s, when there were 15 million fewer people living in the state.

Lake Oroville, North of Sacramento is at 31 percent of capacity.

Next year there's the possibility of another dry winter, which would be the fourth in a row.

Officials say the best thing is to keep conserving water.
