Officials called for voluntary water-use reductions in South Florida, while dry conditions prompted supply concerns.

The South Florida Water Management District issued a water shortage warning on Feb. 5 for Miami-Dade, Monroe, Collier, Glades, Highlands, and Lee counties.

Groundwater levels continued to decline at most of the Biscayne aquifer monitoring stations, according to South Florida officials.
