Early in the Rainy Season ??? This is the time of year where that area gets the most rain. You would know that if you did your dd.
That being said water is actually a problem this time of year....
So this is a very good time to show good water results. I would like to see what the results would have been just a few months ago. Keep in mind the rainy season just started so I would be very suspect if the report was release at the end of August.
I'm hoping some hydrology experts can give some more information about this area but it appears that there is water underground. It's always bubbling up in the area making geysers and sulfer deposits.
The graphic below actually shows low ground water levels in the Allana area. However I'm optomistic there will be enough water for our purposes -- and there is lots more nearby.
GLTA!!!
