Summary

Following the driest October recorded in over 150 yeaR, New York City Mayor Eric Adams has issued a drought watch and urged residents to take shorter showers, fix dripping faucets, and implement water-conservation plans.

The city is also repairing a leaky aqueduct, leading to increased reliance on reservoirs in the northern suburbs, which also experienced a drier-than-average October.
