## Resource

Virginia’s worst drought in years is hitting coastal communities like Captains Cove hard, with dry soil, empty wells, and shuttered water-intensive businesses. State officials urge voluntary conservation—cutting lawn watering and car washing—to prevent mandatory restrictions, warning that without action, the crisis could escalate as the ground refuses to refill.
