California Water Watch is always a good resource.
My summary - Rainwater in good shape, Reservoirs OK in most of the state with some concerns in the large Northern Reservoirs but much better than in past drought years, some work to do in snowpack, particularly at lower elevations but much better than previous years.
Ground water is a concern in the Central Valley particularly in the South/East quadrant. Not a surprise as this has been a 50 year issue and some of the cities their are addicted to pumping despite efforts to develop other water sources.
