Another abnormally dry month resulted in a persistence of severe to exceptional drought conditions over much of northeast Georgia through October. In fact, drought conditions actually worsened in some areas, with record low water levels reported on Lake Hartwell by the end of the month. Some slight improvement was observed in well water levels, but they remained near record lows. Most rivers and major streams continued to flow at less than 10 percent of normal.  Voluntary water restrictions continued in most areas, with a few areas continuing to institute mandatory restrictions. Meanwhile, severe crop losses resulted in a federal disaster declaration for much of the larger agricultural communities across the area.
