Why is Lake Meredith so low with all the rain that has fallen in the surrounding areas?
Lake Meredith’s watershed extends to the west of the Lake and north of I-40. Unfortunately the rainfall that occurred over much of the state did not occur within the watershed. This has been the pattern for the last 10 years. Even in years where we may have had near normal rainfall totals, those rains have not been of the intensity and duration needed to generate significant run-off.
