The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) has declared a drought watch for 15 counties across the state, due to significantly reduced rainfall and declining water levels in streams and groundwater, including Delaware, Orange, Sullivan, and Ulster.
While no mandatory restrictions are in place under a drought watch, the DEC is urging residents, particularly those relying on private groundwater wells, to conserve water immediately.
NYC Environmental Protection Deputy Commissioner Paul Rush appeared on Radio Chatskill with an update on the drought watch, its impact on the watershed and the Delaware Aqueduct repair.
