Monitoring location 08034000 is associated with a Lake, Reservoir, Impoundment in Smith County, Texas. Current conditions of Lake or reservoir water surface elevation above NGVD 1929 are available. Water data back to 1962 are available online.
The datum elevation of this station has been determined to be 0.00 feet above NGVD 1929. To obtain stream water-surface elevation values in NAVD 1988 add .31 feet to NGVD 1929 values.

Site type
A list of primary and secondary site types that can be associated with data collection sites. A site type is a generalized location in the hydrologic cycle, or a man-made feature thought to affect the hydrologic conditions measured at a site. All sites are associated with a primary site type, and may additionally be associated with a secondary site type that further describes the location. The exception to this rule is the Facility primary site type, which must always be associated with a secondary site type. The site type code incorporates these hierarchial distinctions.
Lake, Reservoir, Impoundment
An inland body of standing fresh or saline water that is generally too deep to permit submerged aquatic vegetation to take root across the entire body (cf: wetland). This site type includes an expanded part of a river, a reservoir behind a dam, and a natural or excavated depression containing a water body without surface-water inlet and/or outlet.
