MINNEAPOLIS Minnesota officials stepped up their drought response on Friday as the state grows drier, which threatens water supplies, agriculture and more wildfires.
Minnesota has now reached the threshold to trigger the warning phase under the statewide drought plan, the Department of Natural Resources said. And the department said it expects another threshold for public water systems that draw from the Mississippi River will be tripped in the coming days as stream flows drop. Under current conditions, it will take at least three to five inches of precipitation spread over a period of about two weeks to significantly alleviate the drought, the DNR said in statement.
