They analyze various indicators including precipitation, streamflow, soil moisture, and temperature data to provide input for the U.S. Drought Monitor (USDM). Additionally, the Climate Office partners with Alabama Drought Reach, a statewide communication program, to develop outreach materials that inform the public about drought conditions and their agricultural impacts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Office of Water Resources<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Office of Water Resources (OWR) is part of the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs (ADECA) serves as the second key drought monitoring agency in Alabama. Working closely with the Alabama Drought Assessment and Planning Team (ADAPT), the OWR receives technical input on drought conditions from the Monitoring and Impact Group (MIG) subcommittee. Using this information alongside weekly USDM maps, the OWR issues and updates drought declarations that guide local watershed managers in making critical water usage decisions during drought periods.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=&#8221;HOW DROUGHT IMPACTS ALABAMA AGRICULTURE&#8221; open_toggle_text_color=&#8221;#f1560e&#8221; open_toggle_background_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; closed_toggle_background_color=&#8221;#efefef&#8221; icon_color=&#8221;#f26522&#8243; open_icon_color=&#8221;#f26522&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; title_text_color=&#8221;#007399&#8243; title_level=&#8221;h3&#8243; title_font=&#8221;|800||on|||||&#8221; body_ul_item_indent=&#8221;1em&#8221; body_link_text_color=&#8221;#007faa&#8221; body_link_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; body_ul_font=&#8221;|600|||||||&#8221; body_ul_line_height=&#8221;1.4em&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; animation_style=&#8221;fade&#8221; animation_duration=&#8221;700ms&#8221; custom_css_toggle_icon=&#8221;color:#f1560E!important;&#8221; border_radii=&#8221;on|3px|3px|3px|3px&#8221; border_width_all=&#8221;0px&#8221; border_width_bottom=&#8221;1px&#8221; border_color_bottom=&#8221;#63b1bd&#8221; border_style_bottom=&#8221;dotted&#8221; border_color_left=&#8221;#f26522&#8243; icon_color__hover=&#8221;#007faa&#8221; icon_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;on|hover&#8221; icon_font_size__hover=&#8221;18px&#8221; icon_font_size__hover_enabled=&#8221;on|hover&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; closed_toggle_background_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; closed_toggle_background_color__hover=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_color_bottom__hover_enabled=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; border_color_bottom__hover=&#8221;#f26522&#8243; title_text_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; title_text_color__hover=&#8221;#f1560e&#8221; border_radii__hover_enabled=&#8221;on|hover&#8221; border_width_left__hover_enabled=&#8221;on|hover&#8221; border_width_left__hover=&#8221;5px&#8221; body_link_text_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;on|hover&#8221; body_link_text_color__hover=&#8221;#f26522&#8243; custom_css_toggle_icon__hover_enabled=&#8221;on|hover&#8221; custom_css_toggle_icon__hover=&#8221;color:#007399!important;&#8221; open_icon_color__hover=&#8221;#007faa&#8221; open_icon_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;on|hover&#8221; open_icon_font_size__hover=&#8221;18px&#8221; open_icon_font_size__hover_enabled=&#8221;on|hover&#8221; border_radii__hover=&#8221;on|3px|3px|3px|3px&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW219707198 BCX0\">Alabama is no stranger to drought, and it has major impacts on statewide agriculture.
