All of NH Now Under Drought-Like Conditions

All of the state of New Hampshire is now in a drought, according to NH Public Radio.

Until now, the state’s North Country has largely been unaffected by drought conditions, but a new update from the national drought monitor shows they are under moderate drought conditions.

At this time, 28% of the state are currently experiencing severe drought conditions, even with the recent precipitation across the state.

Approximately 150 municipalities and local utilities have put restrictions in place for outdoor water use, with over 100 of these restrictions being mandatory.

People with private wells are being urged to use their water conservatively and to stagger their heavy water uses.
