Jennifer Hoggatt, Deputy Director of the Missouri Geological Survey, discusses their collaborating work with the Missouri Department of Natural Resources on the areas being impacted by a growing drought in the state.
Listeners can submit reports on local drought impacts through DNR’s webpage (https://dnr.mo.gov/water/hows-water/state-water/drought).
This reporting system is a nation-wide service provided by the National Drought Mitigation Center, based at the University of Nebraska, in partnership with the National Integrated Drought Information System. Missouri state agencies rely on this information to determine drought impacts across all of our counties.
