Abstract:
On October 29, the North Carolina Drought Monitoring Council issued a warning that if below-average rainfall continues through the spring of 1999, the result could be a record drought. In the mountains, stream flows are approaching record low flows and public water supply systems have enacted water conservation measures. Below normal precipitation in North Carolina is being attributed to La Niña.
