[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1256008, member: 18945"] No emergency spillway on Livingston Dam--the 12 tainter gates open in relation to the amount of water entering the lake. They are all currently opened, but only partially open. There are 24 dams on the Trinity and it's tributaries in Texas--all but one are at 100% capacity and the exception is Lake Halbert which is at 94.4%. (Halbert Lake is on a secondary Trinity tributary--a creek south of Corsicana--creek would normally feed Richland Chambers Reservoir, which itself is a dammed up creek--it's water flows into the Trinity about 20 miles West of Cayuga according to Google Maps.) You can get up to date information of any Texas reservoir or River Basin at: [url=http://www.waterdatafortexas.org/reservoirs/statewide]http://www.waterdatafortexas.org/reservoirs/statewide[/url] Up to date hydrology graphs and river stage forecasts can be found at the link below (just put your cursor on the dot on any river and it will pop up a little graph or click on the dot of your choice and a page will open for that gage station) [url=http://water.weather.gov/ahps2/index.php?wfo=fwd]http://water.weather.gov/ahps2/index.php?wfo=fwd[/url] Lake Livingston Today: 2015-05-30 %capacity-100.0 Level-132.58 Height above conservation pool-1.58' Reservoir storage-1,922,823ac ft Conservation storage-1,785,348ac ft Conservation capacity 1,785,348 Surface area- 86,001 acres Livingston can open it's gates a LOT more, but as with all flood control, they always, have to be careful about scouring out the concrete spillway and of course flooding everyone down below.
