April Showers Not Enough to Raise Groundwater Levels: "Record low groundwater levels for April were set at seven water-table wells in central Maryland, according to hydrologists at the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Above normal rainfall in April helped raise streamflow levels in parts of Maryland, yet more than half of the real-time streamflow stations still had below-normal streamflow across Maryland and Delaware at the end of April. Streamflow and groundwater levels are reflecting the lack of precipitation last fall and winter."
