ENVIRONMENT NEWS
- ➤ Environmental officials declared an emergency drought today for the upper Yakima, lower Yakima and Naches watersheds as snowpack levels dropped below 70% and water supply shortages are expected for the Yakima Basin, a key part of the $4.5 billion agricultural economy. The state will provide $4.5 million in grants to help communities prepare for a dry summer — the situation reflects long-term declines in snowpack that are also stressing forest trees and increasing wildfire risks.
