Drought not gone, but the rain has helped
In case you missed my story on the ongoing drought (I can't find it online), let me give you my three-sentence summary:
The 3+ inches of rain that have fallen over the past 10 days didn't end the drought but left local water-system directors feeling much better. High Point's City Lake is actually above capacity, and the city will consider lifting voluntary-water use restrictions next week. Greensboro, meanwhile, plans to gradually cut back its water purchases from Reidsville, Burlington and Winston-Salem from 10 million gallons per day to 5 million gallons, saving the city $11,000 to $12,000 per day.
But wait, there's more. Here's a handy site with lots of drought-related info and links.
