Lake Worth water level

What this level means

Readings come from station 08045400 (Lk Worth abv Ft Worth, TX). The last value stored here, 593.17 ft, is from 2016-09-30. The agency sets full pool at 594.0 ft. Conservation capacity is 24,419 acre-feet. That put the reservoir at 67% of its conservation capacity. The top of the dam sits at 606.3 ft. A falling pool widens the beaches and shortens the ramps, so it is worth checking before you drive out.

How this reading is taken

USGS gauge 08045400 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 Lake Worth is 594.0 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.
