SE New Mexico, and this drought has been going on for 4 years. Jimi
Hey Jimi where are you?? Last year here in MD we had the same well problem. Liberty Reservoir dropped almost 28 ft. and Triadelphia Res. fell 17 ft. and Prettyboy Res. lost 70% of its water last year, but this year, with the El Nino-induced rains have filled everything up far over their high-water marks. The marks on local streams show the last weeks rains rose them four ft. above their usual levels! I hope u get some good rains soon!
