Show 11 The projected summer streamflows are shown in Figure 6, with nearly all of the streamflows in Utah below 50 percent of the long- term average streamflow. The western part of Colorado and parts of Wyoming and New Mexico also will have very low streamflows, all resulting from the very low mountain snowpacks which exist this year. The U. S. Drought Monitor map for May 28 shows that nearly all of Utah is in either extreme or severe drought or abnormally dry. Other Western States as depicted. Most of these areas have drought impacts in agriculture, water resources, and wildfire danger areas. Mr. Chairman, this completes my presentation. I am prepared to answer questions about my presentation and related drought matters. |
