Drought Vulnerability Classification
Adequate System – There is greater than a 90% probability that the community will not experience any water shortages or threat thereof during a severe drought similar to the drought of record.Drought Adequacy Description
If a drought similar to the 1953-1955 drought of record were to recur today, it is estimated with 50% confidence that the current system would be able to support a demand of 4.60 mgd (the mid- or best yield estimate). It is estimated with 90% confidence that the current system would be able to support a demand of 3.13 mgd. Because the system would be able to fulfill the community’s current demand of 2.18 mgd with 90% confidence, the drought vulnerability of the system is classified as ADEQUATE.Additional Notes
Note that Taylorville’s yield includes 1.73 mgd it can obtain from groundwater sources.Population Served: |
