RESERVOIRS HIGH,
 FLOW SUBNORMAL
Spring Overflow General in Surface Water-Rain
 Shortages Hurt

Although Connecticut's surface water supplies in general are at present in good condition, with reservoirs and storage basins filled an doverflowing their spillways the ground water supply and the rate of stream flow despite the re- cent showery period are not on par with their usual condition at this season of the year, a check up of public water sources revealed today.
 This situation is the result of a shortage in rainfall in every win ter month with the exception of January which had a precipitation considerably in excess (plus 1.S6 inches) of the normal due to the heavy snowfall in that. month. IT. December and February, the pre- cipitation was slightly below nor mal, while March proved an extra. ordinarily dry month with a short. age in rain of 1.17 inches as com pared with the normal. The 'ex. cessive precipitation in January brought the otal for the winter months within half an inch of the normal for the four-month period The succeeding decline in February and March, however, left the ground water supply and stream flow below average for this season Although light rains have fallen intermittently for the past two weeks. precipitation in April Is still tagging behind the normal for the month.
 Should the sub-normal rainfall continue through May, it would mean that the water supplies would approach the ordinarily dry sum. mer months facing possible low levels, since, with a depleted ground water supply, stream How would dwindle to a minimum and no fresh water would be fed to tht reservoirs. Even in such an event there would likely be no actua ssortage in the water supply 1T Connecticut, however. Water suppl, utilities have been constantly en larging and improving their stor' age systems to impound sufficien water. in seasons of good rainfall to meet requirements of the dr, periods.
