Enders Reservoir through the year
The band is the lake's own normal: where the level has run on each calendar day, 1990–2026. The summer drawdown — and how this year sits in it — shows up without reading a single number.
This year vs the years that matter
This year's trace against last year and the driest and wettest years on record — the drought-context question every lake regular asks.

Full pool, datum, and the gauge
"Full pool" here means the conservation pool — the level the lake is designed to hold for water supply and recreation, not the flood-control space above it. The full explainer covers flood pool and dead pool too.
| Full pool | 3112.30 ft project datum · per Bureau of Reclamation (Enders Dam) full-pool reference |
|---|---|
| Conservation capacity | 42,910 acre-feet · per Bureau of Reclamation (Enders Dam) capacity reference |
| Gauge | USACE series ENDS.Elev.Inst.1Day.0.Best-NWK · U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Access to Water data |
| Datum | project datum — An irrigation reservoir with a deep drawdown cycle: the top of the conservation pool is 3,112.3 ft and the bottom of it is 3,080 ft, so a long way below full pool is normal here. |
