Iowa’s water situation has turned around after things got very dry at the end of last year and drought was a big concern. Tim Hall of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources keeps track of the groundwater numbers.
July has been cooler than normal and Hall says that also plays a big role in the water situation — especially during the growing season.
He says nearly all of Iowa had some form of drought in October of 2013, but that has all changed with a very tiny spot in southeast Iowa that’s only rated ‘abnormally dry.
Hall says the conditions are just where they should be at this point in the year.
