The two major reservoirs in South Texas remain near or at record lows, which poses a threat to the region’s agricultural industry and residential users alike. The Falcon reservoir is at approximately 11%. The reservoir saw a slight uptick from a record low of 8.8% on May 28 partly thanks to the rains from Tropical Storm Alberto. Meanwhile the Amistad Reservoir didn't get as much rain and is at a record-breaking low of about 19%. Already this year, about 6,000 acres of citrus have been bulldozed due to water scarcity. Agriculture might be experiencing the biggest losses, but municipalities are also being affected.
