Summer Drought in Full Swing - the Perfect Time to Pass the Drought Bill!

The most recent drought map, published mid June.
It's summer in New England! Sunny days full of ice cream trucks, beach days, and increasingly, drought. With a month left of the legislative session, it's the perfect time to enact stronger protections for our waterways during these dry events.
Right now most of our state is experiencing drought. Newburyport down to New Bedford is in "Significant Drought," while the Islands and our Central and Connecticut River Valley regions have entered "Mild Drought."
The Northeast Region jumped two levels this month - from normal conditions to "Significant Drought." According to the Department of Conservation and Recreation, such a quick change is unprecedented, and indicative of flash drought conditions.
