Hardberger Park, Water Loop Trail, Slowly Coming Out of Drought

Monday, February 6, 2012

Today's photos:

With the rain this past weekend, San Antonio has already received more than the average rainfall for the entire month of February. That makes three months in a row: December, January and February, with above average rain and these are, on average, the three driest months of the year. The drought last year was so severe, however, it will take above average rain at least through summer to work all the way out of it.

After asking the question, "How wet is the Salado Creek wetland?" last week, today seemed to be a good one for answering the question, "How much water is there along the Water Loop Trail?" There was a small amount of water flowing in the streams that cross this section of the park. They drain the land very efficiently.

I am looking forward to a lush spring.
