SCLT Releases First Sheridan County Water Supply Report of 2023

The Sheridan Community Land Trust has released its initial Sheridan County Water Supply Report of 2023. Sheridan Media’s Ron Richter has the details.

The January report is the continuation of monthly reports the Sheridan Community Land Trust has prepared as a “one-stop shop” to help people make decisions for their ranches and their land. It contains the latest information about water availability, streamflow, snowpack, drought, soil moisture, and water supply forecasts for the Tongue and Powder Rivers.

According to information from the report, when comparing the beginning and end of December, drought in Sheridan County has seen some amount of improvement. The entire county is relatively free of drought conditions, except for the southeast corner. No counties to the west show signs of drought conditions, but generally saw no change. Johnson County to the south experienced immense improvement across most of the county

The Sheridan County Water Supply Report is a monthly report that can be downloaded from the Land Trust’s website.
