How this report works

Each lake's level is the official daily reading closest to September 28, 2026 from the Texas Water Development Board, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers or the U.S. Geological Survey. “Normal” is the median level on the same calendar date over 2006–2025; the normal range covers 8 out of 10 years. Many reservoirs are lowered on purpose in fall and winter, so a level below full pool can still be normal for the season. See data sources & methodology.
