Parts of southeast Iowa short 20-inches of rainfall

(DES MOINES, Iowa)  Two-and-a-half inches of rain fell in January and February.  Tim Hall of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources says that was a bonus, during the normally dry winter months.   He says, however, about 10-percent of the state is in some form of drought.

Hall says some parts of southeast Iowa are short more than 20-inches of rain over the past two years.

He says most of the state has normal stream flow and shallow groundwater conditions are improving.
