            He is claiming that it was an old lady in a truck over on the Rowlett side just north of the golf course. For some reason the name of the road isn't coming to me but anyways. He is doing it to keep the people that are normally scared to make the run to the river out of there so they won't gps all of the underwater hazards that are now out of the water. Also, to keep them from cutting down or marking th hazards for just any yahoo to go up there. There is about 10 or so guys that always fish up there and they want it all to themselves. They have been known to take out markers that mark hazards.

              Benbrook is still down 30 something feet. I think it's down lower than any other lake in Texas. They let out water all summer long to feed the trinity river project and to keep the levels on richland chambers and eagle mountain.

                I didn't read all the posts, but i see what your meaning now. Good thing I always gps stumps and stuff. I never can get why people remove markers like that. I have marked a couple stumps out in the middle of lake and someone keeps removing them.

                    yea i cant figure that out, it shows over 6 miles low, so not sure how it is being calculated. Something isnt right because the world's deepest freshwater lake is 5,300 feet deep.

                    deepest in the US is Crater lake in Oregon at 2,000 feet deep

                      I am pretty sure OH Ivie and Lake Travis have Benbrook covered. There are some lakes out west that are either almost completely dry or already are bone dry.

                        Yup, Spence has almost completely dried up as well.

                          Great Falls:
                          Facts & Figures
                          Construction of Great Falls Dam began in 1915 and was completed in 1916.
                          Great Falls is one of seven dams acquired by TVA from private companies, and it’s the only TVA dam located outside the Tennessee River watershed.
                          Great Falls Reservoir is 22 miles long and has 120 miles of winding shoreline and about 1,830 acres of water surface.
                          Great Falls has a flood-storage capacity of 30,500 acre-feet.
                          The dam is 92 feet high and stretches 800 feet across the Caney Fork River.
                          The hydroelectric power plant at Great Falls Dam consists of two generating units.

                            Sounds like the type of guy that needs a bat to the head!!!

                                This is incorrect. Benbrook is currently 16ft. low. Benbrook does NOT flow into either Eagle Mountain or Richland Chambers.

                                The Water District actually pumps OUT of Richland Chambers INTO Benbrook. We also have the ability to pump OUT of Benbrook, and INTO Eagle Mountain.

                                We are not "feeding" the Trinity River Project with water from anywhere.

                                I mean no disrespect, these are common misconceptions. If you'd like, I might be able to arrange a tour of the pumping facilities at Benbrook sometime.
