Data App: Track Texas Reservoir Levels

By: Ryan Murphy and Kate Galbraith, Texas Tribune
Updated: April 12, 2012
The most intense drought in Texas history lowered reservoir levels around the state, stirring widespread concern about water shortages. By April 2012 many had bounced back, particularly in Central and East Texas, after those areas saw an unusually rainy spring. But many West Texas levels remain very low.

Using data collected from the Texas Water Development Board's reservoir status tracker, we have built a tool that visualizes the current levels of the state's reservoirs. The map will be updated daily with fresh data. Each icon on the map represents an individual reservoir, color-coded based on how full it is currently.
