DROUGHT
STAGE ONE TERMINATION
April 1,
2012
In accordance with the Drought
Stage Triggers listed in the Headwaters Groundwater
Conservation District Drought Contingency Plan,
Drought Stage 1 is terminated. The Drought Index
Level at the end of March is 1414 feet above Mean Sea Level
(MSL). Stage 1 is triggered at 1410 feet. The Palmer
Drought Severity Index is at near normal, the Guadalupe
River Flow Rate at Kerrville is above 50 cfs.
Although drought index levels
are above stage 1, aquifer recovery is still below normal
for this time of year. Drought stage could return by early
summer without sufficient spring rainfall. Conservation can
be continued by considering the watering practices and
non-essential water uses listed in the District Drought
Contingency Plan. Rain water catchment systems are a water
conservation alternative for landscape watering.
