Data App: Track Texas Reservoir Levels

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.
