River and spring discharge rate information provided by USGS is shown in the table above, along with HTGCD drought
stage trigger levels for the primary rivers in the district. The 30 and 60 Day Mean figures have been computed based
on the historical USGS daily mean data. Discharge flow rate is shown in cubic feet per second (cfs).

The Hays Trinity Groundwater Conservation District consists of 2 Regions that rely on different measures for determining drought status.
The northern region, Region K, drought status is determined by the Pedernales River discharge rate and the Henly Church well water level.
The southern region, Region L, drought status is determined by the Blanco River discharge rate, Jacob’s well discharge rate and the Mt. Baldy well water level.
Graphs provided by USGS are shown below for the primary and secondary rivers and springs in the district.
