California’s Walker Lake suddenly and unexpectedly dried up Friday, killing thousands of fish as the state struggles through a fourth year of record drought.

A new aerial video taken by the California Department of Water Resources shows just how severely the state’s record four-year drought has impacted water levels at key reservoirs.
