CLEARWATER DECLARES STAGE 4: CRITICAL DROUGHT CONDITIONS FOR TRINITY AND EDWARDS
The Clearwater Underground Water Conservation District (Clearwater) Board of Directors determined back in May that current conditions may create adverse effects on the recharge of the Trinity and Edwards Aquifer thus triggering the initiation of Drought Management Plan. The state of Texas is experiencing a severe drought and the citizens of Bell Co. must understand the importance of reducing water.
Clearwater Board President Leland Gersbach said, “Water on your yard today, may be the drinking water you need tomorrow.”
Under the Trinity and Edwards BFZ Aquifer Drought Management Plans, a drought stage will only be triggered when the Precipitation Deficit Index (PDI) is less than a drought stage trigger condition exceeding for a period of 28 consecutive days and shall be reduced or terminated when the PDI is greater than the trigger condition exceeding for a period of 42 consecutive days. Click HERE to view PDI for both aquifers.
The current PDIs for both Aquifers: (<50%) : CRITICAL.
