The drought that has been hindering the region (and especially farmers) throughout the summer only briefly abated when the remnants of Hurricane Debby came through dropping several inches of rain in just a few days. We are back in the red, with no rain forecasted soon.
This is troubling region wide but particularly in rural areas that rely on wells - no reservoir can be tapped to replenish groundwater.
MCA has undertaken a research and outreach program for the county's water resources. Check out the "Good Gift" campaign.
You can help - please take 10 minutes to answer anonymous questions about your well and local groundwater supplies.
