We have contracted for recreation

Canyon Reservoir is permitted as a

the purposes of use identified in the
Texas Water Code, priority for water
stress.
As of mid-August:
• Canyon Reservoir is more than 4
feet below normal conservation pool
level;
• The inflow to Canyon Reservoir
is consistently below 20 cubic feet
per second (cfs) and GBRA is
releasing only 50 cfs to meet its
commitments;
• The flow of the Guadalupe River
at Victoria is below 30 percent of the
monthly norm;
• The mean daily spring discharge
the established take level for foun-
tain darters;
• The discharge from Comal ’and
San Marcos Springs accounted for
approximately 86 percent of the
river flow at Victoria;
• GBRA inflated its fabridams at
the Lower Guadalupe Diversion
Dam and Salt Water Barrier July 18
because of extremely low river
flows and levels in this area. These
bags prevent local water supplies
from being contaminated by salt
water from San Antonio Bay as the
river flow declines.
• The Texas Natural Resource
Conservation Commission notified
junior water rights holders along the
upper Guadalupe River that their
ability to pump may be curtailed if
river flows continue to decline;
• The TNRCC watermaster for
South Texas, Al Segovia, reported
that of the six river basins he moni-
tors, the Guadalupe River basin “is
in the worst shape.”
West said GBRA will continue to
give future requests serious consid-
eration and make every effort to
accommodate them. “However, our
first priority and responsibility is to
protect available water supplies
needed to sustain life.”
