Stage II Alarm Drought
Lovelady monitor well: 468.7 ft-msl
Barton Springs: 35 cfs 10-day avg.
Total rainfall at the district office in November of 3.2 inches was just shy of the historic average for the month of 3.3 inches. This ahead of the 58% chance NOAA's Climate Prediction Center places on El Nino (ENSO) conditions developing this winter and extending in spring 2015. ENSO conditions generally correlate with wetter periods in central Texas. Currently, despite the average rain conditions recharge to the aquifer has been minimal and consequently water levels in the aquifer are declining after a summer of roller-coaster-like ups and downs (see drought chart here).
