康涅狄格州全州八县进入二级干旱状态 降水偏少致地下水位下降
康涅狄格州州长内德·拉蒙特11月14日宣布，在州际干旱工作组的建议下，全州八个县全部进入《康涅狄格州干旱应对与准备计划》规定的二级干旱状态。州政府表示，近期全州降水持续低于正常水平，导致地下水位、河流水量与土壤湿度下降。按2018年通过的州干旱计划，二级状态意味着干旱事件正在形成，可能影响供水、农业或自然生态系统。这项决定依据州与联邦机构监测的多项指标作出，包括降水量、地表水、地下水、水库蓄水、土壤湿度、植被状况与火灾风险。
州政府提醒居民注意节约用水，但二级状态下暂未实施强制限水措施。干旱工作组将继续监测各项指标，并根据降水与水位变化决定是否调整干旱等级。州环保厅此前发布的温室气体清单显示，康涅狄格州2024年排放总量有所下降。
Connecticut Puts All Eight Counties Under Stage Two Drought as Low Rainfall Pushes Groundwater Levels Down
Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont announced on Nov. 14 that, on the recommendation of the Interagency Drought Workgroup, all eight counties statewide have entered Stage Two drought status under the Connecticut Drought Preparedness and Response Plan. The state said recent statewide precipitation has remained consistently below normal, causing groundwater levels, river flows, and soil moisture to fall. Under the state drought plan adopted in 2018, Stage Two means a drought event is developing and could affect water supplies, agriculture, or natural ecosystems. The decision was based on multiple indicators monitored by state and federal agencies, including precipitation, surface water, groundwater, reservoir storage, soil moisture, vegetation conditions, and fire risk.
The state urged residents to conserve water, but no mandatory water restrictions are in effect under Stage Two. The Drought Workgroup will continue monitoring the indicators and decide whether to adjust the drought level based on changes in precipitation and water levels. A greenhouse gas inventory previously released by the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection showed Connecticut's total 2024 emissions declined.
