Water Data Tracking

Monthly hydrologic conditions reports describe precipitation trends, dry periods, high or low river flow conditions, ground water levels, and review the current water year. They can be downloaded from this page.

The Office of Water Resources maintains a network of approximately 60 precipitation observation stations throughout Massachusetts, as well as a database.

Information on drought management, drought maps, and a list of Massachusetts towns by drought region.  Also links to the Massachusetts Drought Management Task Force page.
