The featured chart is courtesy of the USGS WaterWatch website (click toolkit, then state duration hydrograph). The chart shows an estimated statewide averaged runoff value with the y-axis having a logarithmic scale. The chart shows that recent rains have improved the surface hydrologic situation with runoff values somewhere closer to a average value and the largest since last June. Filling area water reservoirs and rivers are both important to many parts of Iowa's economy and providing drinking water to many municipalities. More rain is in the forecast and continued hopes for doing significant drought busting over the coming weeks.
