By JAMES DEVANEY We need more rain and cool weather, That's the opinion of State Joseph Brumbach, discussing Connecticut's drought.

Brumbach explained Thursday there are two types of drought, agricultural and orological. An agricultural drought re-' fers to the amount moisture, in the soil, the "root zone" of growing plants. We are in an agricultural drought right now, Brumbach said, "And I've never seen one this early." The agricultural drought shows in lawns already turning brown, followed by householders with hoses and sprinklers in the evening. This could be reversed by normal -we're about six inches Two Causes This agricultural drought is caused in part by a lack of rainfall-we're about isx inches below normal for the year already--and in part by the meteorological drought which started in the northwestern part of the state in 1961, and the rest of the state in 1962. This has lowered the water table in the root zone from five to 10 inches, so when there is a lack of rainfall, it really shows.

And it shows in the Metropolitan District Commission's reservoirs at Barkhamsted and Nepaug, which at the end of April were at their lowest level for that month in history. Together, they now have about 25 billion gallons of water. When full, as is normal at this time of year, they hold 40 billion gallons. The MDC reported Barkhamsted, which is 18 feet below normal, has 18.5 billion gallons, compared to a normal 30.3 billion at this time of the year, Nepaug, 11 feet down, has Nepaug, 11 feet down, has (6.5 normal billion 9.5 gallons billion. compared to But this doesn't mean Hartford is about to run out of There wa- is ter, the MDC stressed.

billion gallons available. and the area used only about 4.5 billion gallons in the course of a summer. The MDC has put its present! ban on sprinkling and waste of water to keep its distribution system in kilter. There is no to trouble in getting the water holding basins at Hartford the and East Hartford. but when these basins are depleted by heavy use of water during trouble the evening, they may have filling up for the next peak use of water the next morning.

Need Plenty of Rain The MDC estimated we need at least 48 to 72 hours of good. soaking rain to have an appreciable effect on the reservoir water level. The meteorological drought affects stream flow, reservoir levels, and the performance of home wells-even deep ones, although artesian wells. because they are set into bedrock, generally arent's affected. "We need an awful lot of rain to build our supply up to its pre-1961 level," Brumbach said, adding we also need cool weather, because in hot weather.

100 much moisture is lost into the atmosphere. John A. Baker, geologist in charge of the U.S. Geological Survey's Ground Water Branch Middletown, said three of seven index wells around the istate were lower than they ever have been at the end of April, and they should continue to go down throughout the summer. The three are at Burlington, down about two feet from April, 1964.

and 1.85 below average: South Windsor, down about a foot lower than 1964, almost three feet below average, and Union, more than five five feet below April, 1964, a little less than five feet below average. And the water levels of the other four wells at Woodbury, Middlefield. Waterbury and Plainfield, are below average. This doesn't mean the water situation is worse in some parts of the state than in others. Baker said.

What happens in the future depends on how LEST WE FORGET MEMORIAL DAY MONDAY, MAY 31 LET FLOWERS and PLANTS Honor Your Loved Ones ORDER EARLY A Say it with flowers rainfall different parts of the state get this summer. Brumbach says no one has! an exact answer to what has; caused this drought. Rain has been coming with normal frequency, but for the past four or five years, not as much rain has been falling with each storm. Even thunderstorms, which I are the principal source of water during the summer, haven't been dropping as much rain. The U.S.

Weather Bureau at Bradley Field, Windsor Locks, said for some reason, that, "steering winds" which bring moisture up here from the Gulf of Mexico have shifted more to the west, bringing the the floods which ravaged that area a few weeks ago, while shortchanging Meanwhile the the Northeast. drought is starting to cause concern to some water companies and town officials throughout the state. Town Manager Richard Martin of Manchester said day he will decide next week whether or not to invoke a water ban and its extent. The town's four reservoirs have capacity of 479 million gallons, and May 1 contained 445 million gallons. The Manchester Water which serves the rest of the town gets most of its water from wells, and has never had any trouble with a shortage.

Middletown officials haven't reached the worrying stage because a quarter of the town's supply comes from a new well which alone can fill the city's neds. Both of the town's reservoirs are below normal, but not to the point where a ban is imposed. Portland, which has enlarged its one reservoir, draws most of its water from an underground source, and officials there aren't disturbed. Water supplies in the shoreline area are in "reasonably good shape," according to E. P.

Williams, president of the Connecticut Water Co. "There is no great abundance, either," he a added. There are no serious problems at present in the area from Chester to Guilford, but the company is watching consumption and rainfall patterns which could produce shortages later in the year. There are no restrictions now, but they may be necessary later unless the area receives "At least average rainfall" the remainder of the year. Water Department officials in Bristol have discussed the drought, but haven't yet taken any restrictive measures.

But Simsbury First Selectman Russell Shaw of Simsbury said know if some people have had wells go dry--if they haven't it's a miracle." The Village Water Co. of Simsbury has banned lawn sprinkling, car washing, irrigation and other needless uses of water, The MDC ban on sprinkling has asked not to sprinkle between 5 users, p.m. and reported "wonderful cooperation" from area users. The Connecticut Water which serves the area north of Hartford, and the Hazardville Water Co. have restricted lawn sprinkling.

Meriden is contemplating some restrictions on the use of water, but officials in Eastern Connecticut Norwich and Danielson-reported no water problems. Shuttle Meadow Reservoir in New Britain is 97 per cent of capacity, water dept. officials said Thursday. The reservoir is the largest water source for New Britain area.
