LAKE AND RIVER
The BMA opened the dam gate valves on Aug. 21 and the lake is going down quickly now.
On Thursday, Aug. 29, our Medina Lake level was 1061.32 feet. That is down 2.88 feet, which is 93.3 per cent capacity.
The Medina River had a flow of 22.4 cfs in Bandera, running 3.71 feet deep at the gage.

Until next time, “¡Vaya con Dios!”
