💧 Drought Explained:

This simple graphic shows how rain (or lack of it) impacts our aquifer:
➡️ Left (Average conditions): Rainfall seeps into the ground, recharging the aquifer.
➡️ Right (Drought conditions): Little to no rain means little to no recharge.

When recharge slows, groundwater levels can drop—impacting springs, rivers, and water supplies.

🌱 Conserving water helps protect our aquifer during dry periods.
