Drought tightens its grip on Basin area in 2013
West Texas faces prolonged drought with 2013 and 2012 water totals around 5 to 5.6 billion gallons while 2011 hit 7.06 billion.

In 2014 Midland International Airport logged 0.45 inches and Odessa Schlemeyer Field 0.61 inches, compared with 2013’s roughly 1.52 inches aided by January snow, per National Weather Service meteorologist Alec Lyster.
