Abnormally dry and drought conditions persist across much of Alabama - 85 percent of the state is classified as at least abnormally dry, and 77 percent of the state is classified at the moderate drought level or worse. While heavy rains did help to relieve dry conditions in the very southern areas of Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana, groundwater, reservoir, and stream levels are still low in other parts of these states, and some areas continue to experience severe drought.
Winter is a great time to implement simple water conservation measures inside your home:
Only run the dishwasher and washing machine when they are full - save about 1000 gallons per month.
Fix a leaky faucet - save about 140 gallons per week.
Keep your shower under five minutes - save up to 1000 gallons per month.
Added up, these easy steps save more than 2500 gallons of water in a month - that's enough water to meet the daily needs of a family of four for almost two weeks!
