On Oct. 23, Canyon Lake was at 96.8% of conservation storage, while the Edwards Aquifer Authority reported a J-17 10-day average of 639.4 feet and a Comal Springs 10-day average of 149 cubic feet per second.
The three figures describe different parts of the water system: stored lake water, an aquifer index well and spring flow. They should not be read as interchangeable measures or as a single water-use rule for every household.

Canyon Lake storage and level
The Texas Water Development Board's Oct. 23 reservoir reading put Canyon Lake at 96.8% of conservation storage. That percentage describes stored water relative to the lake's conservation capacity; it is not a percentage of shoreline access or a household supply guarantee.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers recorded a lake elevation of 907.46 feet at 11 p.m. CDT on Oct. 23, or 1.54 feet below the 909-foot conservation pool. Its report showed a 0.06-foot fall over 24 hours, a small day-to-day movement, and a release of 103 cubic feet per second.
