DROUGHT IN TEXAS & TIMELINE OF DROUGHT
• The main culprit of the intense 2011 dryness was a weather pattern where the surface temperatures are cooler in the Pacific. This in turn creates drier, warmer weather in the southern U.S.
• A drought occurs when a region stays abnormally dry for a long enough period to cause an imbalance in the water cycle
• 2011 was the driest year ever for Texas, with an average of only 14.8 inches of rain.
• The high summer temperatures increased evaporation, further lowering river and lake levels.
PRE & POST SCENARIO OF DROUGHT (2011)
POST SCENARIO:• Texas: $5.2 billion in agricultural losses through July
• Livestock $2.1 billion, Crop losses $3.1 billion
• $13.1 billion in agricultural losses since 1998
• The Texas Water Plan is the state’s response to drought.
• As of June, 2014, 70 percent of Texas is still in drought conditions, while 21 percent is in the worst two stages of drought, either extreme or exceptional drought.
