Above normal rainfall was received over the last two weeks in Iowa, with the statewide average was 2.3 inches, as compared to the normal 1.7 inches. However, in its latest Water Summary Report, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources notes more, slow steady rains are needed to bring us out of the drought. The National Drought Monitor indicates improvement in all categories of drought conditions across the state over the past two weeks. Over 35 percent of the state continues to be rated in moderate drought, and just over 5 percent is rated in severe drought. Nearly 60 percent of the state, however, is now shown without drought or just abnormally dry. Those driest areas continue to be two small locations in west-central and southeast Iowa.
The DNR says that although shallow groundwater levels in southern central, eastern and northeastern Iowa have benefitted from the rainfall, parts of southwest and northwest Iowa received very little rain and shallow groundwater levels are much lower than the previous April. Water supply operators in northwest Iowa are seeing reduced production, dropping water levels and historically low levels.
Stream flow has improved statewide, but remains below average. Northeast Iowa remains the wettest, while northwest Iowa is the driest. Groundwater conditions are still low across much of the state, but normal spring rains should continue to bring improvement.
Compared to a year ago, shallow groundwater levels are one to four feet lower in Johnson, Jefferson, Lucas and Montgomery counties, and the same or slightly higher in Marshall, Fayette, Crawford and O’Brien counties.
Compared to two years ago, shallow groundwater levels are 2 to 12 feet lower in Crawford, O’Brien, Jefferson, Johnson, Lucas and Montgomery counties.

Firefighters in Atlantic have organized a fundraising walk for a 5-year old Atlantic girl who is fighting metastatic colorectal cancer since her diagnosis last September. Riley Slauson’s cancer has spread and she is undergoing rounds of chemotherapy. A walk in her honor and will take place tomorrow (Sat., April 26th). Shawn Sarsfield, a 13-year veteran of the Atlantic Volunteer Fire Department, has been following the girl’s saga on her Facebook page “Super Riley.” Sarsfield says he’s been captivated by her story.
Riley Slauson (from the Super Riley Facebook page)
He says the girl has put together a “Bucket list,” which includes a trip to Disneyworld with her family, and to become a firefighter. To make that part of her wish come true, the Atlantic Fire Department will make Riley an “Honorary firefighter.” The walk involves members of the Atlantic Fire and Rescue Department, Atlantic Police Department, Cass County Sheriffs and The Iowa State Patrol. Each of the participants will be wearing their respective uniforms. It takes place tomorrow (Sat., April 26th), from 8-a.m. to 5-p.m., beginning at the Atlantic Fire Station.
The walk will proceed east on 7th Street to Wal-Mart, around to Hospital Drive and onto 10th Street. The participants will then turn north onto Chestnut Street toward the downtown area, before winding their way back to the fire station. Afterward, Riley will be presented with her Honorary Fire fighter Shirt and Certificate.
Those wanting to help Riley’s parents with the medical and other expenses, can drop-off your pledges or donations at the Atlantic Fire Station on Saturday, from 8- to 5, or, leave donations with any of the walkers as they make their way through town tomorrow. There’s also an account set-up at Wells Fargo Bank in Atlantic. All the funds raised will be directed to Riley’s family.
