Drought watch advisory lifted for 32 counties in Virginia

Richmond, Va. – Due to recent precipitation, the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), in coordination with the Virginia Drought Monitoring Task Force, has lifted drought watch advisories for 32 counties in Virginia. A drought watch advisory still exists for the Northern Virginia and Shenandoah regions.

Drought watch advisories have been lifted for the following regions:

  • Eastern Shore: Accomack and Northampton counties
  • Northern Coastal Plain: Caroline, Essex, Gloucester, King George, King William, King and Queen, Lancaster, Mathews, Middlesex, Northumberland, Richmond, and Westmoreland counties
  • Northern Piedmont: Culpeper, Greene, Louisa, Madison, Orange, Rappahannock, Spotsylvania, and Stafford counties
  • Roanoke River: Bedford, Campbell, Charlotte, Franklin, Patrick, Halifax, Henry, Mecklenburg, Pittsylvania, and Roanoke counties

A drought watch advisory is intended to help Virginians prepare for a potential drought and remains in effect for the Northern Virginia (Arlington, Fairfax, Fauquier, Loudoun, and Prince William counties), and Shenandoah (Augusta, Clarke, Frederick, Page, Rockingham, Shenandoah, and Warren counties) regions.

Several factors have contributed to the lifting of advisories and the maintenance of drought watch advisories in the affected regions. Widespread and heavy precipitation over the past 14 days has led to marked improvements in soil moisture and increases in streamflow across Virginia. Stream flows throughout the Commonwealth have rebounded with all stream gages within the drought monitoring network currently indicating normal or above normal status. Groundwater monitoring wells in the Climate Response Network have improved in the central and eastern portions of the Commonwealth, however some wells in the Northern Virginia and Shenandoah regions remain much below normal. Low water levels in agricultural ponds and small feeder streams in the Northern Virginia and Shenandoah regions are still being reported due to the extended dry conditions prior to the recent rainfall. Storage volumes at all major water supply reservoirs remain at normal levels.

DEQ is working with local governments, public water works, and water users in the affected areas to ensure that conservation and drought response plans and ordinances are followed. Localities and Virginians that are supplied water from the Potomac River should consult the Metropolitan Washington Water Supply and Drought Awareness Response Plan for specific triggers and actions to be taken. All Virginians are encouraged to protect water supplies by minimizing water use, monitoring drought conditions, and detecting and repairing leaks.

See the current drought status on the DEQ website.
