This spring, the @TWDB partnered with @LCRA to deploy a Collison Floating Evaporation Pan on Lake Buchanan. It’s measuring how much water is lost to evaporation, helping to improve our understanding of reservoir conditions and water supply across Texas.

While slightly below storage volume from this time last year, reservoirs in the Nueces basin have increased since last month thanks to waves of rainfall. The current flood wave passing through upstream of Lake Corpus Christi will be a welcome addition to the water supply. #txwx

Let it stand tall! Longer grass adds shade and helps retain soil moisture, especially during drought. Give your mower (and your back) a break. Skip a mow and keep grass at 3–4 inches. More tips: https://t.co/LV56Q3mD1d

️ Texas Heat = High Evaporation! 🌵 Water your lawn before 9 AM or after 6 PM to save 60% of the water you use. Keep the water on the grass, not in the air! 💧

Plentiful rainfall in May has increased river streamflows and improved ongoing drought conditions in Texas, but drought conditions persist across our region. Extreme and worse drought conditions have gradually decreased in area though. #drought #txflooding
