LAKE CONROE – The city of Houston increased its demand for water Friday, ordering an additional 10 percent from Lake Conroe. The release rate from the Lake Conroe dam has be raised to 165 million gallons per 24-hour period. The previous rate has been 150 million gallons a day since the withdrawal began on Thursday, August 15. The new release rate begins today. The engineering staff for the city of Houston announced the purpose of the increase is so the city can fully utilize its 66,667 acre-feet of water allowed by the agreement between the San Jacinto River Authority and the city of Houston. While the SJRA purchased all of Houston’s water rights for an 80-year-period starting in 2016, Houston retains its water rights until then, or when the SJRA begins using water from the lake. The city of Houston has until Dec. 31 to utilize all of its water permitted in 2011. The SJRA staff has estimated the previous release rate of 150 mgd would result in an approximately drawdown of a half-inch per day. Increasing the release to 165 mgdi would raise the estimate to approximately one-20th of an inch per day. The actual measured lake level drawdown has been approximately 17 inches for each of the past two months. That is slightly less than what was estimated when evaporation included, according to SJRA Deputy General Manager Jace Houston Assuming no rainfall at all, the staff estimates the lake level will drop at a rate of 1 to 1-1/2 feet per month. The lake level at Lake Conroe Friday was 193.41 feet below the mean sea level of 201. Does this also mean that after 2016, we don;t have to worry about them taking water any more, or does it just mean that SJRA can sell it to someone else. I guess I have been gone to long. Better get those boats out of the water while you can........ |
