Reservoir levels continue to drop, Medina County in most severe level of drought

The US Drought Monitor is classifying Medina, Frio, and Atascosa Counties as being in an “Extreme” Drought.
Centered directly above Medina County is an area classified as an “Exceptional Drought” (the highest level of drought).
“Groundwater and reservoir levels continued to drop in the San Antonio area amid very large precipitation deficits,” it notes, leading to the development of an area of exceptional drought centered above Medina.
Growing concerns about water security, especially with our rapidly growing Medina County area, recently prompted local cities and water groups to band together forming the “Regional Water Alliance”.
