Runoff

Runoff is part of the water cycle. It cannot be eliminated. We can slow it down so that the water can soak into the soil, reduce erosion and sediment displacement.

A Riparian Sponge Holds Water

Roots hold the soil in place.
Soil and roots hold water in place.
Roots + Soil + Water = Sponge

LCRA’s Hydromet is a system of more than 275 automated river and weather gauges throughout the lower Colorado River basin in Texas. The Hydromet provides near-real-time data* on streamflow, river stage, rainfall totals, temperature and humidity. Check the Pedernales River streamflow @ https://hydromet.lcra.org
