Indirectly, yes. The snow that falls on Mount Shasta and in the Sierra Nevada mountains melts during the spring and summer. This water runs downhill, into Lake Shasta and into the Sacramento River. (Lake Shasta is a reservoir behind Shasta Dam.) This water contributes to the drinking water supplies in northern California.
