Bentwater Marina | Lake Granbury | Texas Drought

This is a fly over of Bentwater Marina, on Lake Granbury, which is part of the Brazo’s River Authority, and is the middle of three lakes connected by the Brozo’s River. All three lakes are down about 15 feet due to the drought and due to political reasons. Please pray for rain to fill up Possum Kingdom Lake, Lake Granbury and Lake Whitney. Thank you!

Here is a link that provides water levels for all of Texas’ lakes.

Texas State Park police officer Thomas Bigham walks across the cracked lake bed of O.C. Fisher Lake Wednesday, Aug. 3, 2011, in San Angelo, Texas. A combination of the long periods of 100 plus degree days and the lack of rain in the drought -stricken region has dried up the lake that once spanned over 5400 acres.  See More on O.C. Fisher Lake

SAN ANTONIO — Will record-breaking droughts become the “new normal” for South Texas?  That question was posed by the state Climatologist John Nielsen-Gammon at a meeting of the Edwards Aquifer Authority board Tuesday.

The current drought, which started four years ago, is among the five worst in the past 500 years, he said. If it continues to be as dry as it is has been, the drought could be the third worst.

The current drought, which started four years ago, is among the five worst in the past 500 years, he said. If it continues to be as dry as it is has been, the drought could be the third worst.

El Niño conditions “definitely seem to be on the way,” he said, which could usher in a cool, wet winter and up to 5 inches of additional rainfall.

In the long term, because of changes in the global climate, South Texas “could see both worse droughts and worse floods,” Nielsen-Gammon said.
