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 5.89 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 4.59 mgd. Because the system would be able to fulfill the community’s current demand of 1.65 mgd with 90% confidence, the drought vulnerability of the system is classified as ADEQUATE.Additional Notes
