Yes, I know it was a "drop in the bucket" but when the lakes are as low as they were every drop does count.
Its mostly a problem for wells.
The neighbor of a place I used to live up in Oceola county told me that the well in my old place had to be drilled deeper a couple years ago. It was at 15 feet but started to go dry so they drilled it to 60 feet.
There are approximately 6 quadrillion gallons of water in the great lakes. For the folks in Rio Linda, that’s 6 million billion gallons, or a 6 followed by fifteen zeros.
