SOURCE & LIMITATIONS

Daily estimate, not a live gauge.

TWDB combines data from providers and its own estimates. The current reading and 30-day history can update at different times. Elevation is shown in TWDB’s feet; percent full describes conservation storage. This page does not report ramp status, weather, or swimming conditions.
