The probability of releases from backup water supply reservoirs in the Washington metropolitan area during the summer and fall seasons of 2024 is currently below normal. The use of Jennings Randolph and Little Seneca reservoirs is generally triggered by low flows brought about by a combination of low summer precipitation and low groundwater levels. Streamflow is currently above normal, and groundwater levels are mostly above normal. The Potomac basin upstream of Washington, D.C. received 3.2 inches of precipitation for the month of March, which is 0.3 inches below normal. After an extended dry period from spring to fall 2023, precipitation has been near-normal to above normal for the past few months. As of March 31, the 12-month cumulative basin precipitation was 3.8 inches below normal. Rainfall in the first week of April has been much above normal. The Middle Atlantic River Forecast Center (MARFC) anticipates no water supply shortages within the Mid-Atlantic region over the next couple of months, assuming continuation of near normal precipitation. At present, there is sufficient flow in the Potomac River to meet the Washington metropolitan area’s water demands without releases from upstream reservoirs. If low-flow conditions develop, the Washington metropolitan area is protected from a water supply shortage owing to carefully designed drought-contingency plans.
