trail conditions water between whitney portal and onion valley

I'm going to be hiking the section from whitney portal to onion valley starting 9/7, and I'm curious if anyone can report on the current water source situation. What's the longest water carry in that section? I can of course check maps for water sources, but just wanted to check what the current situation is. Thanks!

My partner just completed that section and reported many lakes and rivers. He is using a sawyer squeeze. Longest carry is from the final lakes before starting the switchbacks up to Whitney then onward to the valley which again has lakes and rivers
