Falcon Reservoir Sees Water Level Increase After Storm
Water levels have risen by 0.74 feet over the past two days, with an increase of 15,672 acre-feet in storage. The reservoir is now at 15.3% capacity, up from 14.6% just two days ago.
Unfortunately, the RGV still needs much more rainfall to bring Falcon Reservoir to healthier levels.
