Drought lingers on
The Southern Nevada Water Authority releases a Drought Monitor report each month. The November report doesn’t have a lot of great news. It looks like the drought will linger. Our annual rainfall is well below normal, and the inflow of water into Lake Powell is only about 67% of normal. That means Lake Mead won’t be filling up for a long time. Storage capacity at the lake is less than half of normal and the lake level is sitting at 1108 feet. That’s more than a hundred feet lower than back in 2000. You can check out the latest report right here. drought-update-11-18-08

Hi Sherry,
I really like what you’re doing with your “Green” project. It’s needed and helpful.
I stopped by the KLAS studios and had a brief conversation with Misty Morgan-Yousfi this week. I have had a number of opportunities to work with various News folks in town on Gardening and Environmental projects… some live some taped. With all the snow this week I’ve been quite busy in fact.
My issue here is that I am interested in working together with a local News Anchor on a project that would bring viewer interest together with important viewer education. I really think this could be quite popular. (tease - tease)
If you’d like to discuss my ideas and how You and KLAS could fit together with these, it would be my pleasure to meet with you and discuss them.
You can check out the quarterly newspaper that I publish (both web and print)here:

Dear Sherry:
I listen to your wheather reports every mourning. It occurred to me that I would very much like to hear how current storms are affecting the Colorado River watershed and it’s current state. Just a thought. David J Kleindienst, Boulder City resident.
