Reservoir footprints that were not available in the 1:24,000 NHD dataset or the hydrologic surveyed lake data were copied from the older, 1997 dataset. These include: Buffalo Lake; Addicks Reservoir; Barker Reservoir; Wallisville Lake; Lake Muenster and Lake Dunlap. Some of these lakes and/or reservoirs are used mainly for flood control.
There are 2 missing 'reservoirs' that are used for flood control located in Hale County: 1) Lower Running Water Draw WS SCS Site 2 Dam; 2) Lower Running Water Draw WS SCS Site 3 Dam. NOTE: There are no footprints for these 2 flood control reservoirs.
Footprint of J.D Murphree Wildlife Impoundment was acquired from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. Main polygon was edited by adding the 'intracoastal waterway' to the shapefile.
The definition of "EXISTING" means 'built and in operation'.
* Existing reservoirs are reservoirs that contain 5,000 acre-feet or more.
