Alarm Drought Declaration pending

Moderate drought conditions persist throughout central Texas and the reprieve from drought conditions in the Barton Springs segment of the Edwards Aquifer in late June and early July have passes. It's back to drought--the Lovelady drought trigger has crossed it's respective Alarm Stage threshold and the Board will consider the declaration of Alarm Drought conditions at Thursday (7/24/14) night's Board Meeting.

The good news is that we are well into the summer and to date it's not been as severe as previous summers (like 2011). There is also a strong chance that the El Nino conditions will bring above-normal rainfall this winter for Texas.
