Texas has a humid subtropical climate with hot summers and mild winters. Major surface flows include the Rio Grande, Colorado, and Brazos rivers, among others. The state has numerous reservoirs and dams, including the 200-mile-long Lake Texoma and the 170-mile-long Lake Travis. Hydrology in Texas is influenced by seasonal changes in precipitation, particularly in the spring and fall. Major tributaries include the Guadalupe, Nueces, and Trinity rivers. Watershed data is important for understanding the hydrology of Texas, with notable watersheds including the Red River, Sabine River, and San Antonio River. Snowpack data in the western mountains of Texas can also play a role in the state's hydrology, particularly during drought conditions.
