Drought
Nearly every part of our Country experiences periods of reduced rainfall. If we plan for a drought, then we can enjoy the benefits of normal or rainy years and not get caught unprepared in dry years.
Strategies for drought preparedness focus mainly on water conservation. Make these practices a part of your daily life and help preserve this essential resource.
