right out of yosemite national park snow melt and rain runoff into the reservoir. >> reporter: all you have to do is look at the lake to understand how bad things are. >> this is incredible. i can tell you. i been coming here for the last 20 years and this is the worst i ever seen. >> reporter: in fact, the water is so low, that you can look right through the old railroad tunnels that used to make for catfish habitats. but the bigger problem? the water line will soon drop below the pumps themselves meaning the people here will simply run out of water. >> we're counting back from about mid to late august of this year. >> reporter: plan a is cutting releases to nearby waterways. but that would mean getting relief from the state. >> a lot of what ifs whenever you're dealing with the state water board. >> reporter: plan b is digging deeper for ground water which costs time and money this community doesn't have. >> we're right in between two of the major reservoirs in the state of california and we're going to run out of water?!

that's really ironic! >> reporter: from here, the problems just run downstream to the parched fields of the valley where farmers have their demands. caught in the middle are the fish who depend on healthy rivers and creeks. a tangled complicated mess that's really just a new reality as the drought bears down even harder. >> statewide, i think the whole picture is going to change. >> there's something going on. we all need to wake up. and what are we going to do with this? >> coming up at 6:30, more on the new drought restrictions and how some bay area communities who have already had to cut back are trying to adjust. a big fight is brewing over a prime piece of real estate in oakland. the empty lot on east 12th street sits right across the street from lake merritt. a developer wants to build a luxury apartment tower here. new at 6:00 kpix 5's da lin with those who are asking, what about housing for the average guy? da? >> reporter: allen, that's right. the city wants to sell a piece of prime real estate to a

affordable housing crisis. >> it's outrageous. 75% of the people in this neighborhood are classified as low income. >> reporter: but the developer says the project will create construction jobs and tax revenue for oakland. he even started an online petition to win support saying his rents are cheaper than san francisco. >> there's more people attracted to the city. we need to provide housing at various different ranges of affordability. >> reporter: maybe libby schaaf says oakland needs all kind of new housing including luxury housing. the mayor plans to use the profit from the development to pay for affordable housing elsewhere. >> i'm very focused on moving this project forward because we cannot wait to build more housing in oakland. we have a shortage problem. >> this is housing but it's housing not for oaklanders. it's housing in the wrong direction. >> reporter: after this planning commission meeting, the city council will pick it up on april 21 to vote on whether or not to sell the land

to the developer. those neighbors say they will be back for that meeting and protest at that -- they will protest at that meeting, as well. live at oakland city hall, i'm da lin, kpix 5. also, critics claim the city hasn't been very transparent about selling that piece of land. the deal was worked out back in 2012 but many are saying they just found out three months ago. oakland's coliseum city plan is taking a step forward. the oakland city council passed several environmental and planning measures. now, this is going to clear the way for a developer to come in. but the coliseum city still needs signed deals with the raiders and the a's and a financing plan before shovels can go into the ground. the investor backing the deal needs to present a plan by the middle of august. two united airlines flights had to turn back after taking off from sfo today. the first plane was headed for calgary but returned 30 minutes later because of the smell of smoke in the cabin. the second plane was bound for boston when it turned back because of a sick flight

a frequent target of security breaches starting when this teenager yahye abdi hopped the fence and stowed away in the wheel well of a jet to maui a year ago. since then it's been a bizarre series of incidents ranging from bypassing tsa security to a suspect stealing an airport truck. do you feel like this is the new normal? >> the new normal in terms of? >> people jumping fences all the time? >> that this is detecting and deterring people that want to scale our fence line is something that's always a primary concern for us. >> reporter: the airport says the current 6-foot-high fence with barbed wire meets faa standards but they are pushing for a taller fence. they are also testing the use of cameras, radar and motion sensors. as for that woman yesterday, she has been booked into the jail on charges of trespassing and resisting arrest. in san jose, kiet do, kpix 5. one of the infamous chowchilla kidnappers has been granted parole. he needs to go through an

lafayette and i'm standing next to the exception not the rule. we are talking about statewide water restrictions which began today because our reservoir levels are low, our snowpack is nearly nonexistent. the lafayette reservoir is 84% of capacity. if every reservoir in the state was that high we wouldn't have a problem. but we have problems. there is rain in the extended forecast three days with a chance of rainfall. highs didn't hit 70. santa rosa 69. concord 68. morgan hill 66. fremont 66. san jose 65. san francisco 61. believe it or not, baseball albeit exhibition baseball but it's our two teams the giants and a's, the first of three exhibition games at&t park for the first two, tomorrow night, 57 degrees for your first pitch temperature. it will be breezy and cool. but then again, so will the entire summer. highs around the region for tomorrow redding if you are traveling up north on i-5 mostly sunny 69 degrees. if you are heading to yosemite

it turns it into a taco shell. >> reporter: the idea is to attract oakland's growing foodie crowd but he says everyone can benefit from healthier eating and hopes the public will be willing to reconsiderate usual noontime gut bomb. >> you have to walk in the front door expecting something that's brand-new. not expecting something to taste like a burger because we're not trying to do that. you have to challenge yourself to reset a little bit but it's the best investment you can ever make is an investment in your own health. >> reporter: they are scheduled to open in august. the goal is to create fast food that will help people live a long time. in oakland, john ramos, kpix 5. >> core kitchen is raising startup money with a kickstarter campaign. donors will essentially prepay for meals at a 25% discount. >> love that idea. >> i actually do. yeah. coming up in our next half- hour, getting the water saving message as the governor demands cuts statewide. see how some communities are

executive order for 25% water cutbacks statewide. kpix 5's ann notarangelo reports. >> reporter: here in the tri- valley, they have already reduced their water usage by 25%. it hasn't been easy. some people have been fined but there's proof it can be done. >> everybody seems to be getting on board and contributing to the effort to reduce water use. >> reporter: it made headlines last year when the dublin-san ramon services district mandated a 25% water reduction for its customers and got it with fines up to $1,000 for repeat offenders, people started cutting back on water from their faucets. and they stepped up their use of recycled water for landscaping. 23% of their water here is recycled. the water district thinks statewide we can meet the governor's goals to replace 50 million square feet of lawns with drought-tolerant landscaping. golf courses, cemeteries and campuses will be required to make significant cuts in water use. and new home landscaping will

also have to be water-wise. to help out consumers, there will be a statewide rebate program to help people replace their old appliances with more water and energy-efficient models. but even the people who have been doing it for a year now say, well, it can be done, it's not easy. is it drastic? >> it felt like it. i don't know how much longer people are going to want to keep doing this. >> the people -- excuse me, the governor is asking people to start conserving more water immediately but formal restrictions won't take effect until sometime in may. in pleasanton ann notarangelo, kpix 5. a bizarre crime at stanford. a grad student is accused of poisoning several classmates. kpix 5's len ramirez tells us, jealousy may having tong do with it. >> reporter: -- something to do with it. >> reporter: 25-year-old xiang yu ouyang allegedly poisoned four lab mates by contaminating

drinking water bottles with cancer-causing chemical paraformaldehyde. >> i never heard something so extreme. >> reporter: most stanford students are just hearing about it even though it happened last year. court documents say graduate students doing stem cell research in the lorry lokey building near the stanford medical center began smelling par formaldehyde when they drank from their water bottles during september and october of 2014. some ingested enough to give them burning in their mouths and throats. all the victims are women. they began to suspect ouyang when she was spotted and photographed in stem cell incubators where she didn't belong. at the same time, students tell investigators their stem cells began dying mysteriously. ouyang was described by her lab mates and quiet and shy, unsure of herself and stressed out and although she attended group functions and parties she admitted to the others that she envied them for having boyfriends and a social life away from school.

>> doing research is stressful. and it can make people uber competitive and i think that can cause all sorts of strange behaviors but this one is particularly extreme. >> reporter: this afternoon i spoke to ouyang's attorney who told me she has not entered a plea in the case but spoke to investigators earlier and she admitted that she did some bad things but not consciously, she said it was not herself. at stanford, len ramirez, kpix 5. a scare at palo alto high school. a teacher is recovering tonight after getting burned during a science experiment. the fire was out by the time firefighters got to the campus and no students were hurt but the teacher has first- and second-degree burns. but is expected to recover. no word on exactly what went wrong with the experiment. 18 families have hit the jackpot. cate caugiran reports they didn't win money be scored brand-new housing in a very

[ speaking spanish ] >> the moment i came here to sign the lease i just couldn't believe it. >> reporter: lydia has come a long way surviving sexual assault, domestic violence, along with the grueling selection process and five-year wait to get one of the 18 affordable housing units.

eligible families can't make more than $20,000 a year, lydia will pay just $200 a month to live here.

how can we become better leaders? how can we better citizens? >> reporter: while they're building machines, they're also learning a very human lesson. how to deal with something that most students will do anything to avoid. failure. >> our students have a tendency to be very successful and so they have not had the experience many of them of actually trying something and not having it work. >> so let me build something and it breaks, we just try to accept it. we don't try to do the same thing again. >> reporter: and the proof is in the results. many of williams' students go off to become engineers and physicists for some of the biggest companies in the world. >> we can't be afraid to really dream big and that's really how he inspires us. it's always how can we push ourselves to make something better. >> reporter: for helping kids build confidence and success and a few robots along the way, this week's jefferson award in the bay area goes to charles williams. >> the robotics club has about
