"Birmingham Water Works met Wednesday to discuss ways to conserve water. Meanwhile, the Alabama Forestry Commission issued&amp;nbsp;a Fire Danger Warning for much of the state.\n\n46 counties are now under that Fire Danger Warning effective immediately due to a lack of rainfall and abundance of dry brush.\n\nNearly 83 percent of the state of Alabama is under some classification of drought, and many of the hardest hit counties are right here in central Alabama.\n\nIn the past seven days, 142 wildfires have scorched around 1500 acres in the central and northern Alabama.\n\nLake levels are also taking a hit. Lake Purdy has dropped to only 38 percent full according to&amp;nbsp;Birmingham Water Works.\n\nMeanwhile, homeowners are also challenged to keep yards green while also conserving water.\n\n\"The best times to water are going to be in the mornings and in the evenings when the temperature has dropped a bit,\" says Jay Draper with Leaf &amp;amp; Petal near The Summit.\n\nWhile the state is not under any burning restrictions, the Alabama Forestry Commission urges everyone to delay outdoor burning until conditions improve."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
