ALABAMA RESERVOIR REPORT

Last Updated: December 5, 2025

Alabama has numerous reservoirs and dams, with the largest being the Guntersville Reservoir, the Wheeler Reservoir, and the Wilson Reservoir. These reservoirs are fed by several rivers, including the Tennessee River, the Black Warrior River, and the Mobile River. Snowpack and mountains are not relevant to the hydrology in Alabama, as the state has a humid subtropical climate. Drought conditions and seasonal trends vary across the state. In recent years, some areas have experienced drought conditions, while others have seen heavy rainfall and flooding. The Tennessee River Valley has experienced record flooding in the past, with the most recent significant event occurring in 2019. Overall, however, the state's reservoirs and dams provide a reliable source of water for both residential and industrial use.
