Jan 16, 2014NRCS predicts limited water supply for western states in 2014
A limited water supply is predicted west of the Continental Divide, according to the USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) National Water and Climate Center data in its first forecast of 2014.
Right now the West Coast is all red,” NRCS hydrologist Tom Perkins said in a USDA press release. “Early indications are it will be very dry in the western part of the West, but wetter as you travel east. There are some exceptions to this, as New Mexico, Arizona, parts of Utah and southern Colorado are also expected to be dry.”
Perkins said that it is still early in the season and the forecast could change.
