What this level means
The level comes from gauge 08045000, Eagle Mtn Res abv Ft Worth, TX, and carries the time it was taken. That put the reservoir at 74% of its conservation capacity. Full pool is 649.1 ft. The last value stored here, 648.94 ft, is from 2016-09-30. Conservation capacity is 185,087 acre-feet. Water level decides what is usable on the shoreline, from beach width to ramp access.
How this reading is taken
USGS gauge 08045000 measures the water surface and publishes the value continuously. This page stores the latest reading at build time and refreshes the record daily, so the figure above is a real measurement rather than a model or an estimate.
Full pool for Eagle Mountain Lake is 649.1 ft, so the gap between the reading and that number is what the reservoir is missing.
Elevations are given in feet above the gauge datum used by the operating agency. Two lakes are only comparable with each other through how full they are, not through their raw elevation, because each dam sits at a different height.
