Updated: An Interactive Look at the Texas Drought

A new web-based app allows you to see the Texas drought like never before.

Last month we debuted our interactive web page on the Texas drought, Dried Out: Confronting the Texas Drought.

Now there’s an update to the page, so you can see the latest illustration of how the drought progressed, and how conditions are slowly improving across much of the state. What was once a sea of red (indicating the worst stage of drought) is now mostly a mix of white, yellow and orange, all indicating lighter levels or no drought at all.

The page also looks into the hard choices the state has to make about water, drought or not; the pros and cons of the policy decisions that need to be made, and also allows you to share your stories.

You can see the updated page at Dried Out: Confronting the Texas Drought.
