Droughts are a recurring challenge in the Southern United States, where water is one of our most vital and limited resources. Drought contingency planning is essential to safeguard water supplies and ensure communities, businesses, and ecosystems can adapt to periods of reduced rainfall. By preparing in advance, we can minimize the impact of drought on public health, economic stability, and the environment.<\/p>\n

At Central States Water Resources (CSWR), we are dedicated to helping our communities stay resilient by promoting proactive water management practices and maintaining compliance with these critical requirements. During times of drought, refer to our Drought Contingency Plan (DCP) to understand the restrictions and requirements for each drought stage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
