Drouth End Forecast But Ground Water Rebuild Takes Years
Weather forecaster Herbert Janvrin Browne asserts the five year drought will end by late August but groundwater recovery will stretch for years. He cites solar radiation and Atlantic Ocean water movements as global causes and overdrainage, overgrazing, and Mississippi levees as human factors behind the drought. He predicts variable weather after August with rainfall above average into 1939, yet groundwater and irrigation stores will remain severely depleted.
