The Central Park Reservoir has lost enough water to drop two feet from its normal level in recent weeks, as a drought warning hovers over the Big Apple for the first time in 22 years.
The dividing weir has been visible from time to time over the last several years, typically when there is capital construction or repair work to be done on the reservoir.
However, when it was a part of the system it functioned with two basins, one on either side of the dividing weir, which is now visible.
A significant swath of rainfall is expected to hit the Big Apple Thursday and Friday, raising hope for the end of the drought.
