While May is typically the wettest month of the year in North Texas, this year’s rainfall totals came in below normal. Even so, localized storms helped generate inflows to TRWD lakes, keeping system storage stable at approximately 89%.

As North Texas moves into the summer season, June could still bring opportunities for additional rainfall across the region. Current forecasts suggest near to slightly above normal precipitation early in the month, though warmer temperatures and evaporation may impact reservoir levels as summer heat increases.

As National Wetlands Month comes to a close, TRWD is also looking toward the future of water sustainability in North Texas. In January 2025, TRWD honored former Board Director Martha “Marty” V. Leonard by naming the Cedar Creek Wetlands Project in her honor. A lifelong conservationist, nature lover, and advocate for sustainability, Marty Leonard was instrumental in championing wetlands as a natural solution for protecting and extending the region’s water supply.

During her 17 years of service on the TRWD Board of Directors, Marty helped guide environmental stewardship efforts that continue to shape the District today. She believed deeply in conservation, collaboration, and planning for the future of water management in North Texas. The future Marty Leonard Wetlands Project will continue that vision by using natural solutions to support water quality, sustainability, and reliable water supply planning for future generations.

Thank you, Marty Leonard, for your leadership, stewardship, and lasting impact on our community and water resources.

National Wetlands Month is also an opportunity to recognize the TRWD teams who help protect, manage, and educate the public about these important spaces. Environmental professionals, watershed experts, educators, park staff, operations crews, and maintenance teams all play an important role in caring for spaces like the George W. Shannon Wetlands and TRWD’s Fort Worth campus wetlands. Together, their work helps preserve these natural systems while protecting water quality, supporting wildlife habitat, and educating the public about the value of wetlands.

Thank you to the TRWD staff dedicated to preserving and protecting these valuable natural resources.

A big thank you to the TRWD staff and volunteers who helped make Prairie Hill Planting Day a success! Located within the TRWD Rainscapes on TRWD’s Fort Worth campus, Prairie Hill is part of an ongoing habitat restoration project designed to showcase the beauty and benefits of native Texas landscaping. The area has been seeded with a mix of native Texas wildflowers and grasses, replacing previously existing Bermuda grass with plants that better support the local environment.

Once fully established, Prairie Hill will help reduce stormwater runoff, soil erosion, and use of irrigated water, while also creating a valuable habitat for pollinators and other wildlife. It’s a beautiful example of how sustainable landscaping can both protect natural resources and create vibrant outdoor spaces.

Thank you again to everyone who rolled up their sleeves to help bring this project to life.

With recent rainfall across North Texas and more storms expected in the coming days, we know that staying informed about changing lake and weather conditions is important.

If you’re looking for real-time lake level information for all four of TRWD’s lakes, TRWD’s OneRain platform makes it easy to stay informed. The platform features interactive dashboards, maps, and monitoring data that help users track current lake and weather conditions across the region. OneRain makes it easy to access up-to-date lake levels, rainfall totals, and weather conditions, helping residents stay informed before heading outdoors or during changing weather events.

“This tool helps the public stay informed about changing water conditions, especially during heavy rain or potential flooding,” said Craig Ottman, TRWD’s Hydrologic & Hydraulic Manager. “By sharing data from more than 140 monitoring sites, we provide transparency and empower residents to make safer decisions, whether that’s planning travel, protecting property, or simply understanding what’s happening in their community.”

OneRain offers customizable alerts to notify users when conditions change. Visit: trwd.onerain.com. Lake Level Blog and Daily Reports can be found on our website in the top right corner at www.trwd.com.

What you’re seeing is the result of wetlands at work. The George W. Shannon Wetlands naturally filters Trinity River water before it reaches Richland-Chambers Reservoir, helping improve water quality through a series of wetland cells and ponds. By the time the water exits the system, nearly 90% of sediment has been removed along with significant nutrient reduction.

This image captures the point where the treated wetland water flows into the reservoir, often nicknamed “the waterfall” by locals. TRWD is permitted to use just over 100,000-acre feet of water from the Trinity River each year, making projects like the George W. Shannon Wetlands an important part of protecting North Texas’ water supply.

As our region grows and drought conditions become more common, nature-based solutions like wetlands continue to play a critical role in supporting long term water quality and reliability. To learn more, check out this video: https://ow.ly/3nsG50Z0lRQ
