We’re currently in a cyclical pattern, and the water will return. I recall when I worked on a flooded house situated downriver from Canyon Dam on the Guadalupe. The first floor was submerged, with about 5 feet of water! Remarkably, the house is even 40 feet above the river’s regular level. I drove my boat over the roofs of the pavilions at Comal Park. Everyone was panicking because most boat ramps were submerged. Throughout history, the weather has been employed as a weapon in various ways.
Unless we get a LOT of rain and the county puts the brakes on over-development, it's going to get much worse than it already is. Lennar is planning to build approximately 2400 starter homes on Hwy 306 and Hwy 281 (near 306) and the county says they can't stop the development. The Texas Water Company is also selling a significant amount of water from the lake to San Antonio Water System (SAWS). It's absolutely ridiculous!
Not excatly sure of the cause. Seems to be a combination of a severe drought in the area and exploding development as well. The water level charts seem to indicate the levels have been trending lower since 2009 or so.
@@DroneHypnotics Likely not, they're pumping it out to send to San Antonio faster than it can fill back up. The aquifers in the area are all being depleted as well from all the insane growth. Get out while you still can and beware if you're planning on moving here.

Scary low.
It's definitely hard to see the lake in its current condition.
Nice footage. Pray for rain.

Ok it's low.....but how is the fishing?
Comal Park is so dry! I'm sure you can do an update in a few months cause it's only gonna go down.
Yikes, sad to see. We might have to make another trip back out there soon to document it!

What is causing the drop?

You better sell your land while you can! It's not coming back up
Yikes, scary to imagine if you own property there.. Do you really think the levels will stay low forever?
