Funny, Dave. The desert was pretty dry in eastern Oregon, no doubt, but there was also a lot of standing water where I went hunting over there last month. A lot of that country relies on snowfall rather than rain, tho.

Yeah, Moe the snowpack is crucial for spring runoff to fill those reservoirs in those arid area's.
It's been about two month's since, I've checked. But, Owyhee-Bully Creek-Malhuer and Warm Springs reservoirs were basically dry.
The hardest impacted area's I'm aware of is the country hugging the Idaho border. Vale-Nyssa-Ontario-Adrian for example.
I'm not 100% sure, but, I think those guys around Burns and such, all irrigate off of wells ?

Hey Mark, we were talking about this @ work the other day & wondering, what the situation was.
Any updates on the dry wells & such ?

Same Dave, lot of wells will be dry for sometime. Not sure what the solution will be for those households.
We need mucho rain and snow to get where we need to be. This weeks rain caused a lot of havoc but we needed it. Looks like were going to get a bit more next week.

Thanks Mark, was kinda wondering if drilling deeper was even an option ? if not that sounds like a huge problem.
Kinda funny about a week after starting this thread, a farmer from northern Nevada came up to get some parts. Oravada to be exact. I made mention of this to him and he'd heard about the situation down there.
He mentioned they'd had to drill some of their wells deeper and he has concerns about the Aquifer there.
Well hope you guys keep gettin' weather even if it is a pain for some.
We got that Arctic blast a month ago, close to a foot of snow and a few night's below zero. Lasted about 9-10 days and it's warmed up with rain every so often. It was 57 degrees yesterday @ 8am..Huh ??? That was basically the high.
Weird...
