Water availability has careened wildly in the last 20 years. At one point our reservoir was over 50 feet below full, and it looked like we were headed into long-term sustainability issues. The wildfires in 2012 distracted Rick Perry while he was trying to run for president. Then, we had 30 days in a row of rain, which was unprecedented, and the climate turned into New Orleans for a few years. It's in between now, perhaps headed back towards desert?
The line between west Texas desert and east Texas just-about-Louisiana, moves back and forth over the years, and the reservoirs (and ultimately the groundwater) levels move accordingly.
