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 near normal, and groundwater levels are mostly normal. The Potomac basin upstream of Washington, D.C. received 3.8 inches of precipitation for the month of April, which is 0.4 inches above normal. As of April 30, the 12-month cumulative basin precipitation is 3.1 inches below 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 releasing water 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.
