Condition Monitoring Report  
Station Number: ID-BK-27
Station Name: Inkom 5.5 N
Report Date: 4/5/2026
Submitted: 4/05/2026 6:57 AM
Scale Bar: Moderately Dry
Description:
General: We're still low on moisture, though last week brought some relief with over 1/2" received.  We expect 18.89" (sd = 6.5") for the water year and we're at 12.97" so we're about 1 sd below expected (though we expect another 5" for the water year...we have a ways to go).  It's early days for April, 2026.  
Agriculture:  The rain last week was very welcome. The crops had all been planted 3 days before, and it was a good soaking.
Energy: We're well into positive solar production: 87.23 kWHR produced yesterday, and 34.68 kWHR consumed.  This is a very powerful testimony for solar energy.
Fire: Fire danger is probably high at this point. 
Plants/wildlife: We've had some cold snaps this week, but everybody seemed to make it through okay.  Numbers seem low, but species are close to what we had 2 years ago.
Water: Still pretty puny.  The creek is running, but very low. Runoff is pretty much done for our area, and there hasn't been much action.  Not a very optimistic picture, I'm afraid.
