Title: Weather, Drought Maps of States
Post by: TWP on April 09, 2015, 11:08:46 AM

This the "official" US map set showing Drought conditions across the entire US.  You can select individual states for a slightly more detailed view, but the overall US map is very interesting overview:

There are pulldown options at the top of the page for selecting by region or state.

Nevada, particularly our part of the state is as bad as California.  I hope our Governor doesn't implement the draconian response seen in Cali...  The question becomes, how will you respond if faced with severe water cutbacks?

My concern is local home gardening without sufficient water.

[edit addition]

In addition, this link discusses drought related issues and I've listed additional links from the bottom of the article:
