Is Lake Houston rising or falling?
Across the readings available for the last seven days, Lake Houston is rising. The measured change over that window is +0.38 ft. Short-term changes can reflect rainfall, inflow, dam operations, evaporation and downstream releases.
This reading should not be confused with a reservoir's published “full pool” unless the operating agency uses the same datum and reference elevation. Lake Conditions Lab does not guess at full-pool comparisons.

How often is Lake Houston water level updated?
Update frequency is controlled by the underlying public monitoring station. Lake Conditions Lab checks the source frequently and always shows the source timestamp rather than pretending a reading is newer than it is.

No. The value shown here is the matched monitoring-station elevation or gage reading. Full-pool or target-pool elevations vary by reservoir and operator and are not inferred unless a verified source is configured.
