"The amount of water flowing into the Triangle's reservoirs is at or near historic lows. And the forecast: below-normal rainfall through June."
"So the drought in most of the Triangle and much of central North Carolina is now "severe" instead of moderate, state and federal officials said Thursday. Gov. Mike Easley asked residents to conserve water."
"Less than 5 inches of rain has been measured at Raleigh-Durham International Airport since January. Normal rainfall would total 11.4 inches by now."
"The flow of streams into Falls Lake is 9 percent of normal for this month. If water customers start turning on the spigot as weather gets warmer, the lake will drain faster, officials say.
"
Falls lake is really low.
