Check out these resources for updated information on North Carolina's drought conditions:

• The Drought Managment Advisory Council. The North Carolina Drought Management Advisory Council that originated in 1992 was given official statutory status and assigned the responsibility for issuing drought advisories in 2003. The drought advisories provide accurate and consistent information to assist local governments and other water users in taking appropriate drought response actions in specific areas of the state that are exhibiting impending or existing drought conditions.

•  North Carolina Drought Watch The North Carolina Water Science Center of the U.S. Geological Survey provides scientific information to describe and understand water resources issues of interest to people of North Carolina and the nation. We accomplish this through data collection and dissemination, hydrologic investigations, and water-resources research.
