elcome to LCRA's Hydromet site. The Hydromet (short for hydrological – meteorological data acquisition system) is a network of gauges that monitor river and weather conditions throughout the lower Colorado River watershed. The gauges provide around-the-clock information on weather conditions, lake levels, streamflows and rainfall.

The Hydromet plays a crucial role during potential flood situations by enabling LCRA’s River Operations Center in Austin to track fast-changing conditions in the lakes, river and major tributaries. The National Weather Service’s River Forecast Center in Fort Worth also uses the data to issue flood forecasts.
