Dave, you should be getting some rain in Bowie pretty soon! Looks to be some heavy rain on the radar.
We might get some rain tonight, though not as heavy as what Bowie looks to get, and short-lived...but hey, it's rain! Bring it on!
If Lake Arrowhead is 14,000 acres, and it is down 10 feet, and there are 325,851.429 gallons in an acre foot, that'd mean that the lake is down 45,619,210,000 gallons, right?
Nearly 46 billion gallons, most of which was turned down the Red River after most of the waste was removed, and ended up in Lake Texoma. Since Wichita Falls is either now, or soon will be, pumping the effluent from the waste treatment plant right back to the water treatment plant, a whole lot less water will flow down the Red. I was told that over 8 million gallons a day had been dumped in the Little Wichita and went to the Red. I am not too sure of the water quality because so many chemicals are hard to remove...most of my concern is pharmaceuticals. We'll see.
