By Eric Berger, Houston Chronicle | La Niña's return may extend drought – La Niña is back, and that bodes ill for the state's deepening drought. On Thursday scientists with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said the pattern of cooler temperatures in the equatorial Pacific Ocean has returned, and likely will strengthen this winter. "This means drought is likely to continue in the drought-stricken states of Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico," said Mike Halpert, deputy director of NOAA's Climate Prediction Center.

The Hays Trinity Groundwater Conservation District (District) is working with local area Dripping Springs businesses to join together in displaying the drought conditions using existing electronic outside signage.The Walgreens located in the intersection of Hwy 290 and RR12 has been displaying drought warnings for some time now. Also helping the community display the drought conditions is the CVS located in the intersection of Sawyer Ranch Rd. and Hwy 290. Their locations are critical in helping announcing the drought as their signs can be read in all four in-coming directions to Dripping Springs.
Both Walgreens and CVS were eager to help with the community outreach program and should be recognized for their efforts. Both Walgreens and CVS signs announce a reduction of usage by 30% and will continue to say so through the drought.
The District welcomes any additional businesses or schools who wish to participate in this community outreach program. Please contact our office at 512-858-9253 with your signage contribution.

I hope everyone will be safe and sound and always be cautious in using water. Hope this news will be spread out in the areas affected to help everyone get through the drought.
