Additional notes
Southern Ohio continues to be plagued with
much-below average rainfall for most of 2007. Currently, the
U.S. Drought
Monitor has classified much of Ohio as D1, or moderate drought.
Portions of far southern Ohio, including portions of Clermont County, have been
classified as D2, or severe drought. D2 conditions extend
southward throughout all of eastern Kentucky.
The official river gauge for White Oak Creek is about a mile upstream of
where this photo was taken. In late June it was measured at about
0.6 feet. This reading is roughly in the 8th percentile for June
and early July, with records dating back to 1923.
