(Whitewater Valley)--A new drought map was released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture on Thursday, and it shows that parts of the Whitewater Valley are officially in a moderate drought.  Nearly all of Union and Fayette County, along with the southern half of Preble County and nearly all of Butler County, are included in the drought.  The rest of the Whitewater Valley is now classified as abnormally dry.  In the last month, Richmond has had less that one tenth of one inch of rain.
