📋 Drought Impact Assessment

Currently, 98.03% of Wisconsin's land area is free from drought conditions, with only 1.97% classified as Abnormally Dry (D0). There are no areas experiencing D1 drought or worse, indicating a stable moisture situation across the state.

The absence of drought means that water supply systems in Wisconsin are functioning normally, which is critical for municipal needs, agriculture, and maintaining healthy river flows. Adequate moisture supports crop growth and ensures that surface and groundwater levels remain stable, benefiting both residents and ecosystems alike.
