Texas Basin

Reservoir Levels Weather Hydrology


Texas Basin, also known as Succor Creek Reservoir, is a private-owned water resource located in Owyhee, Idaho. Built in 1979 by AandE designers, this earth dam stands at a height of 121 feet and has a storage capacity of 6340 acre-feet, primarily used for irrigation purposes. The reservoir is regulated by the Idaho Department of Water Resources, ensuring proper inspection, permitting, and enforcement measures are in place to maintain its structural integrity.

With a drainage area of 51.6 square miles and a spillway width of 26 feet, Texas Basin has a high hazard potential but is currently assessed to be in fair condition as of the last inspection in August 2018. In case of emergencies, a slide gate serves as the outlet point for excess water, and a risk assessment rates the reservoir's risk level as moderate. The reservoir's location along Succor Creek and the Snake River makes it a crucial water source for the surrounding area, emphasizing the importance of proper monitoring and maintenance to ensure its continued functionality for irrigation and water management in the region.
