February 2020 River Flows
Real-Edwards Conservation & Reclamation District River Flows for February 2020
Both the Nueces River flows were taken on February 18, 2020. The Dam crossing on Hwy 55 south of Camp Wood was flowing at 41,173 gpm (gallons per minute), and the McDonald crossing was running at 22,494 gpm. The McDonald crossing continues to have several pipes that are reduced in flow due debris and gravel.
For the north portion of Edwards County near Telegraph on Highway 377 the South Llano River had a flow of 43,853 gpm. The river crossing at Evergreen School had a flow of 46,925 gpm. Both measurements were taken on February 17, 2020. Again both crossings have several pipes congested with debris and gravel.
Kent Creek crossing where it flows into the West Prong of the Frio River and the first crossing in Rancho Real off RR 336 were taken on February 20, 2020. The Kent Creek crossing showed 1,216 gpm, and a measurement of 5,654 gpm for the Rancho Real crossing. Again, both crossings have some debris and gravel impeding flow.
Off FM 1120 and past the cemetery is the serene Leakey Springs. This crossing measurement was taken on February 18, 2020 with a flow of 3,326 gpm. This is the only crossing that does not appear to have debris or gravel hindering flow.

Moving down the Frio River to FM 1120 past the Alto Frio Baptist Encampment, this crossing had a flow of 13,283 gpm. Again, both crossing measurements were taken on February 18, 2020, and have debris and gravel impeding flow in some pipes.
