Texas Drought Notification System Monitors Groundwater Levels, Spring Flow to Trigger Action
Courtesy of In-Situ Environmental
Conservation districts are looking for better ways to monitor and manage water resources, which are affected by naturally occurring cycles of drought, rising populations, and increasing demands from industrial sectors. Climate change associated with increased levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere may increase severity of future droughts (IPCC 2007). Potential effects of global climate change are also frequently factored into water management strategies.
The U.S. Drought Monitor suggests a risk management approach to drought management that emphasizes improved monitoring and planning. Water conservation districts are taking steps to reduce the impacts of drought through better preparedness, data collection, prediction, risk management, and improved response to drought emergencies (U.S. Drought Monitor; http:// drought.unl.edu/dm/new.html; see Figure 1).
