USGS 07314800 — Lk Arrowhead nr Henrietta, TX
Extrapolated from the past 60 days
Falling roughly 187 acre-feet per day. At that rate the conservation pool would be exhausted in about 2.4 years.
A straight-line extrapolation, not a forecast. It assumes the recent rate continues unchanged, ignoring seasonality, rainfall and managed releases — and drawdown normally slows as a reservoir falls. Treat it as a severity signal, not a date.
US Drought Monitor for Clay County, Oct 20, 2026
Conditions in the county containing the dam. A reservoir is filled by a watershed that often reaches well beyond one county, and releases are managed, so local drought is context rather than an explanation of the level.
Nearest gaged reaches above and below the dam
How today compares with 59 years of record for this date
At 70%, Lake Arrowhead is below normal for this date, lower than 54% of years on record. It was last this low in 2024.
Percentiles pool the ±3 days around today across every year on record, so “normal” means normal for this time of year. Conservation capacity is re-surveyed over time, so percent-full comparisons across decades are close but not exact.
