DRBC Drought Plan vs. State Plans
- The DRBC's drought operating plan, which is designed for managing regional storage, complements the plans of the states which respond to local water supply conditions.
- State drought plans look at factors such as precipitation amounts, soil moisture, streamflows, groundwater levels and local reservoir storage.

NEW! On October 17, 2024, the N.J. Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) declared a drought watch for all N.J. counties. The rest of the Delaware River Basin is in normal conditions (no declared drought).
