West's Water Outlook Good for Next Season

The Agriculture Department's fall water report, prepared by the Soil Conservation Service, notes encouraging prospects for next season's water supply in the irrigated West except the lower Southwest. Favorable snow year and wet springs boosted storage, with a fair to good outlook if near normal snowpack returns. Recovery is uneven, with southern New Mexico, the Salt River Valley, and southern California still drought-impacted.
