Water Data for the Nation inventory

Monitoring location 08060500 is associated with a Lake, Reservoir, Impoundment in Collin County, Texas. Current conditions of Lake or reservoir water surface elevation above NGVD 1929, Precipitation, Wind direction, and more are available. Water data back to 1953 are available online.

The datum of the gage has been determined to be 0.00 feet above NGVD 1929. To obtain reservoir water-surface elevations in NAVD 1988 subtract 0.05 feet from NGVD 1929 values.
