The Brazos River Authority updated its Drought Contingency Plan in 2007.
Primary changes include:
Removal of Lake Alan Henry from the Drought Contingency Plan (no longer under
Authority control),
Incorporation of updated hydrology and sedimentation conditions,
Consideration of near-term projected water demands on Authority reservoirs,
Update of drought stage trigger values to provide reasonable timing between
implementation of the various stages, and application of a minimum content level requirement for
setting Stage 3 initiation, and
Employment of drought stage triggers based on combined volume, and not individual
lake volume, for the Lakes Possum Kingdom-Granbury-Whitney and the Lakes Stillhouse Hollow-Georgetown
reservoir systems.
