Livingston Reservoir is a man-made lake located near Goodrich, Texas. It was constructed in the 1960s to provide a reliable water source for the city of Houston. The reservoir covers over 90,000 acres and has a capacity of 1.2 million acre-feet of water. The hydrology of the reservoir is mainly fed by the Trinity River, which provides a year-round flow of water. There are also several smaller streams and creeks that flow into the reservoir. The water in the reservoir is used primarily for municipal and industrial purposes, but it also provides water for irrigation and recreational activities. The surface flow of the reservoir is regulated by the Trinity River Authority, and the snowpack provider is the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The reservoir is a popular spot for boating, fishing, and camping, and it also supports a thriving agricultural industry in the surrounding area.
