The purpose wa s to de t e r mi ne suitability of wa ter in the Ar m fo r mu nici pa l suppl y . Water quality was de t e rmi ned a t various l ocations a nd depths in Bi g Mineral Arm and was also determined at three verticals in the main body (Red River) of Lake Texoma for comparison with the quality of Big Mineral Arm (Fig­ ure 2). Sampling s i t e s on 16 of the largest tributaries t o Bi g Mineral Ar m were visited on January 18-19, 1966 ( a period of l ow-flow o f the tributaries) , and samples were collected a t 10 s i tes where there was flow. Heav y r ains in the second week o f Fe bruary ca used substantial runoff in the dra i nage a r ea of Big Mi ne r a l Arm. Samples from the 16 inflow sites we r e col lected on February 10-11, 1966, to compare t he chemical qua l i ty of t he wa t er du r i ng high r u noff wi t h that of l ow flow . The quality-of-water survey was do ne und er a co operative agr eement wi t h the city of Sherman and the Texas Water Development Board . Field a nd laboratory work required to sample and a na l yze the inflows into Bi g Mineral Arm during February were done as a part of chemical-quality r econnaissance of the Red River basin, which i s a coo perative pro ject o f the Texas Water Development Board and the U.S. Geological Survey . QUALITY OF WATER OF BIG MINERAL ARM On J anuary 20, 1966, the water i n Big Mine ra l Arm of Lake Texoma was e ssen­ tially the s ame in che mica l qua l i ty from top to bo t tom (Tables 1 a nd 2) . From the analyses it s eems reasonable t o infer that complet e mixing ma y be the nor ­ mal cond i t i o n during the winter . In winter, the a i r t empera ture i s usua l l y lower than the t emperature o f the wa t e r in the lake, and thus t he t op l a yer o f water is cooled, increa sing its de nsi t y. Whe n the density of t he lake wa t e r near the surface becomes grea t er than the dens ity o f the wat er a t the bottom, the t o p l a yer of water moves towa rd t he bo t tom a nd u l tima te ly t he lake becomes completely mixed .

  • Lake Texoma Water Management Frequently Asked Questions (Faqs)
    Lake Texoma Water Management Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Q1: Why is Lake Texoma so low? A1: A combination of factors is contributing to the current lake level. Even though there was substantial rainfall last May-July, there has been very little precipitation since. We need to have significant rainfall across the entire watershed that feeds Lake Texoma to bring water levels back up. In general, a persistent exceptional drought for the last three years has gripped much of the Lake Texoma watershed. Inflows into the lake for 2011 were the lowest since its construction and 2013 saw the second lowest inflows. Evaporation of water is also a contributing factor. On an average year, Lake Texoma loses approximately six feet (74”) of water to evaporation. When the Lake Texoma basin does not get enough rain, the combination of evaporation and ongoing water usage will cause the lake level to drop. The primary ongoing water usage from Lake Texoma is for municipal/ industrial water supply and hydropower, which are critical in meeting needs for water and electricity. The lake is designed and required to allow authorized project purposes such as water supply and hydropower to continue during drought periods. By this design, Texoma has historically maintained an elevation of 612 or above, approximately 85 percent of the time. Q2: Why are there water releases from Denison Dam during drought? A2: The Flood Control Act passed by Congress in 1938 allowed for the construction of Denison Dam for the authorized purposes of flood control and hydropower production. Other authorized project purposes, such as water supply and recreation were added later.

  • Lake Texoma State Park Resource Management Plan Marshall County, Oklahoma
    Lake Texoma State Park Resource Management Plan Marshall County, Oklahoma Lowell Caneday, Ph.D. 6/30/2017 Fatemeh (Tannaz) Soltani, Ph.D. Chang-Heng (Hank) Yang This page intentionally left blank. i Acknowledgements The authors acknowledge the assistance of numerous individuals in the preparation of this Resource Management Plan (RMP). On behalf of the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department’s Division of State Parks, staff members were extremely helpful in providing access to information and in sharing of their time. The essential staff providing assistance for the development of the RMP included Julie Roach, manager of Lake Texoma State Park. Assistance was also provided by Kris Marek, Doug Hawthorne, Don Schafer and Ron McWhirter – all from the Oklahoma City office of the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department. Merle Cox, Regional Manager of the Southeastern Region of Oklahoma State Parks also attended these meetings and assisted throughout the project. This RMP supplements and updates an earlier document from 2009. Due to the events of the time, the 2009 RMP focused on other possible properties that could be considered for expansion and development within the Oklahoma State Park system. Given the events and circumstances present in 2017, this RMP focuses on the future of the properties remaining within the boundaries of the extant Lake Texoma State Park. The October 2016 kick-off meeting followed critical discussions between the Commissioners of the Land Office (CLO), OTRD, Pointe Vista, and other parties regarding properties formerly included in the original Lake Texoma State Park. Attending this kick-off meeting on behalf of Pointe Vista and Catfish Bay Marina was Ryan Chapman.
