Heavy precipitation in the fall and early winter have replenished Maine's groundwater levels after a persistent drought reduced them across much of the state last summer, according to Nick Stasulis of the U.S. Geological Service. "The state is normal or above throughout," Stasulis said during a meeting of Maine's River Flow Advisory Commission on Thursday, "and that really showed significant improvement due to that November-to-January rain that we were seeing."
