It's dry folks. Simply hasn't been enough rain to fill her back up. Most lakes east of I-35 are 1-3ft low. The ones west of I-35 are even lower. Fork is just 6ft behind because of the dam repair. In order for most Texas lakes to fill you have to get the soil profile full, then the ponds upstream full, then the creeks running, then the lakes start coming up. All that usually happens in fall and winter, then the Spring rains finish off the filling. Just hasn't happened this year. Most Texas lakes aren't on a huge river systems that can just fill a lake at will. They have a huge watershed of small creeks and a smaller river. We have been fortunate for many years not having a substantial drought. Looks like we are gonna get one now. Not sure why this simple process seems to perplex so many people.
