(May 23, 2008)—People heading to Texas lakes this Memorial Day holiday weekend can expect brimming conditions.
Rainfall from last year and downpours across much of Texas in recent weeks have left many of the lakes with plenty of water.
Barney Austin with the Texas Water Development Board says the whole state is in pretty good condition.
Austin, who is the director of surface water resources, says lake levels are really good for recreation activities so far this year and will probably continue through the summer.
The Associated Press reports of the 109 lakes the Texas Water Development Board monitors in its monthly reports, 83 were at 90 percent capacity or fuller.
Lake Waco, Lake Belton and Lake Stillhouse are all operating at slightly above the normal lake levels while Lake Whitney and Lake Aquilla are slightly below normal levels.
