Severe Drought in Alabama and Georgia
May 24, 2007 | USGS

Much of Alabama and Georgia are in a state of “Severe Hydrologic Drought”. Rainfall defecits of 5 to 15 inches are reported for many counties in these and neighboring states and USGS gaging stations are reporting record or near record low flows. State and local authorities have already placed limits on certain outdoor water-use activities and farmers are deciding to hold off on some crops.
