Much of the water has been kept in the reservoirs up Provo Canyon as water storage.
There are a few canal companies down the Jordan River that have water rights that have to be fulfilled.
I think there was some hope when this last winter provided a decent amount of snow compared to the last couple years, but overall it wasn't enough to solve the problem. We'll need to have a couple more consecutive good years.
Because of the lack of snowfall over the last few years, the dry ground absorbed more water than usual during the spring runoff, which reduced the amount of water that made it to the lake.
