Two ongoing dam projects are limiting storage, while pumping from the Chickahominy River is being undercut by saltwater intrusion from the James River, forcing even more dependence on dwindling reservoirs. With El Niño forecast to bring dry summers and Virginia already in drought, reservoirs sit at just 75% capacity — a level last seen during the 2021-2022 crisis that triggered mandatory restrictions. Officials are pleading for voluntary cuts now to avoid returning to those harsh measures, as the governor has called on all Virginians to conserve — with no rain on the horizon and no sign of relief.
