While the Guadalupe River remains available for recreation, severe drought conditions threaten to dry up the ecosystem even further.
In the popular Guadalupe swimming areas near New Braunfels and San Marcos, the water flows are at 164 and 133 cubic feet per second, respectively.
The last time the river’s flows were this low was during the drought from 2011 to 2014. Before that, the lowest flow rate at Spring Branch occurred during the 1956 drought, when the flow rate dropped to zero. And although less water reaching the bay can affect the fragile ecosystem by the Gulf of Mexico, these Texas ecosystems have adapted to high- and low-water events. Significant problems only arise when extremely dry or wet conditions persist for excessively long periods. Last year was particularly wet, so one dry year isn’t expected to crush a fishery or a specific species.
