Exceptional Drought Stage IV predictions
Preliminary projections based on the rate water levels dropped during the 2009 drought indicate that if dry conditions persist, the Stage IV Exceptional drought threshold may be reached by December of this year. See below.
Critical Stage: Barton 20 cfs or Lovelady 190.7 feet
Exceptional Stage: Barton 14 cfs or Lovelady 196.3 feet
Emergency Response Period: 10 cfs or Lovelady 200.0 feet
Drought Rules
Either Barton Springs OR the Lovelady Well can trigger a drought declaration by the Board. However, BOTH Barton Springs AND the Lovelady Well must be above their respective drought trigger levels to exit a drought declaration.
