The Drought is over in South Carolina
Drought officially over in South Carolina; All counties removed from drought status
"Every region of the state has been impacted by this drought," said Ken Rentiers, chairman of the S.C. Drought Response Committee. "The return to a normal rainfall pattern brings welcome relief." The committee recommends that the public continue to use water wisely.
"Even though we have overcome the rainfall deficit associated with the drought, we are still dealing with some of the long-term drought effects," said Dennis Chastain, a member of the West Drought Committee. "Several of the upper Savannah reservoirs remain below full pool. We encourage residents of the northwestern areas of the Upstate to continue to voluntarily conserve our water resources. If we have learned anything over the past several years of dealing with drought, it is that no one should waste water."
