The conditions are reported by the commission to be in sharp contrast to those of last year especially. During the late summer and early Kail of 1914, occurred one of the driest spells in the history of stream dis charge in this State. The records of the Water Supply Commission of Pennsylvania show tlint in many in stances the waters of the streams ap proached and in some cases went below the low stages recorded for the great drought of 190S-09-10. All over the State there was no rain of any consequence for the six weeks .from August 31 to October 16. On | October 16. over an Inch of rain oc : curred and there was no precipita ; tion of an appreciate amount for a 'whole month when over two inches of rain felt on November 15. On this lat jer date, the effective precipitation fell for the whole month of November and there was no moje of any consequence until the end of the first week in De ! cember when a succession of heavy grains occurred. During September, 1914, the streams idrew heavily on the ground water sup- I ply while, during the months of Oc- I tober, November and December, an | unusually small amount of the precipl- I tation found its way into the streams, the dry ground, depleted subsurface supplies, evaporation and plant life i consuming the remainder. The drought was not effectively (broken until the end of the first week 'in December and, in this month, al •' most six inches of rain fell. 'I In the (lliio basin there was a lower percentage of precipitation which ran ; off than that found in the middle and . eastern portions of the State and, dur ing this time, some of the streams I in the Ohio basin in Pennsylvania at tained lower stages than during the drought of 190S-0»-10. Two of the larger streams in the Allegheny basin on which these low stages were record ed are French creek and clarion river. In contrast to the streams in the Alle i gheny basin, the Youghiogheny river ' and its tributaries, did not fall as low k>as during the drought of 190S-OS-10.
