What drying runs into in Powhatan
Serving Powhatan and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
The typical Powhatan house dates to 2003, with under a third of the stock (18.6 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly early 2000s work. With a median of 2003 and under a fifth of the stock older, the houses sit on acreage that is largely kept as pasture and paddock, so the ground around each one is grazed short and compacted by stock.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 45.17 inches, 4.68 of them in July, against a warm season that peaks at 76.3 degrees in July; rain recorded at POWHATAN 3 miles away and temperatures at CROZIER 9 miles away. July is the wettest month at 4.68 inches of a 45-inch year and three months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain lands in the grazing season, when the ground is at its most compacted and the grass at its shortest.
How water losses tend to end in Powhatan
- Ground compacted by stock, so it absorbs far less than it looks as though it should
- Bare patches at gates and troughs, so runoff concentrates where the animals gather
- A large catchment around a single house, so the volume arriving is out of scale with the roof
