    Default GA - NC Water Availability Cycle

    All,

    I am looking for a GENERAL sense of the annual water availability cycle in Georgia and North Carolina.

    For example:

    Spring - plentiful
    Summer - plentiful to drying up at end of summer
    Fall - driest
    Winter - dry to getting plentiful

    I didn't have any trouble in NC last year in March, or in GA in late November or in December. I am wondering when things begin to dry up and then when the streams can be counted on again. I am looking for a GENERAL answer; I know each year can be different.

    Thanks!

    You just did it. That is exactly right under normal conditions. So far there is plenty of water, but as the year moves forward there will be less and less until about November when it begins to once again rain regularly.

    So, the documented water sources are for the most part running full right now?
    I gotta get my head out of the clouds, but that is where my heart is.
