Reservoir-specific Daily Evaporation Data for Texas

Reservoir-specific daily gross and net reservoir evaporation, rainfall, and evaporation volume from 188 major water supply reservoirs based on the Daily Lake Evaporation Model (DLEM, Zhao et al, 2024). Daily data are updated with a 3-day latency and available from 1980 to the present. Monthly and annual aggregates of net and gross reservoir evaporation, rainfall, and evaporation volume are also available for download at the site.
