Amistad Lake Drought Hits Texas Hard in Historic Dry Spell
Amistad Lake in Texas sinks to record lows amid a severe drought with water 48 feet below normal. Ranchers sell cattle early as farms suffer, while visitors like Kenneth Gillit and Timothy Nash continue to fish and enjoy the lake's reduced but still usable area. Amistad was created 27 years ago by a six mile dam on the Rio Grande Pecos and Devils rivers, spanning 67000 acres and 850 miles of shoreline valued for drinking water flood control power and recreation.
