TWDB reading Jul 22, 2026
No real-time lake-elevation gage is matched to this reservoir
This reservoir reports through TWDB's daily process only. Amistad and Falcon are operated by the International Boundary and Water Commission, and Elephant Butte by the Bureau of Reclamation; those agencies publish through systems this site does not ingest. Several others appear in USACE's catalogue as location records with no published time series.
Extrapolated from the past 60 days
Storage rose over the past 60 days, gaining about 27 acre-feet per day.
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 Eastland County, Jul 14, 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.
How today compares with 71 years of record for this date
At 86%, Leon Reservoir is below normal for this date, lower than 59% 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.

CoCoRaHS observers within 60 km of the dam
Rain measured near the dam, not across the watershed. A reservoir is fed by a catchment that can reach hundreds of kilometres upstream, so heavy local rain does not necessarily mean inflow — and a rising lake often reflects rain far from here. Readings are volunteer observations taken once each morning.
