Drought — Southern Pickens, South Carolina

2000-11-01 to 2000-11-30 · Southern Pickens, South Carolina

Wider weather episode

The long-term drought continued to affect the region. Rainfall during the month was near or slightly above normal, but this had little effect on the ground water levels. Numerous wells dried up during the fall, and well borers and drillers could not keep up with the demand. Large lakes reported record low levels and some communities continued or initiated water control measures.
