Rhode Island Under Drought Watch

Rhode Island Under Drought Watch

Published 2 days, 8 hours ago
Description

Rhode Island’s under its first drought watch since 2022, triggered by a 13-inch rainfall deficit over the past year that’s severely depleted underground aquifers. Governor McKee is urging all residents and businesses to conserve water now—more critical than ever despite lower summer usage—while some towns already have local restrictions. The state won’t lift the watch until six months of normal rain and two months of healthy groundwater levels are seen, with a July review pending.
