US Army Corps of Engineers SWT — Lake Texoma
Extrapolated from the past 60 days
Falling roughly 862 acre-feet per day. At that rate the conservation pool would be exhausted in about 3.8 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 Grayson 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.
How today compares with 83 years of record for this date
At 98%, Lake Texoma is within its normal range for this date, higher than 74% of years on record.
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.

This reservoir has no USGS lake gage, so readings come from the USACE CWMS system (DENI.Elev.Inst.30Minutes.0.Ccp-Rev). Validated against the TWDB daily elevation when the mapping was built.
