Watauga Lake Water Elevations March 2010 Photos, illustrations & article by Pat Johns ©2010 All Rights Reserved See links to article references at the end of the article. The TVA defines certain water level guides for each of its reservoirs and reports on actual levels daily. They use the term flood guide to designate the maximum level they would like each reservoir to reach so that they may be ready for flooding rains. They may increase the levels above this with large inflows of water but then subsequently try to lower the level back to the flood guide level. The Flood Guide level for Watauga Lake is 1959.0 feet sea level. Some also call this "Full Pool." Much of the state of Tennessee has been under drought conditions for the past 2 years and many of the reservoirs were at relatively low levels. Rains have increased throughout the state this year (however, the eastern portion of the state remains in a moderate drought condition.) TVA has been able to increase most reservoir levels to or near their Flood Guide levels this Spring.        ~ TVA.com TVA.com TVA information on Watauga Dam Wilbur Lake Reservoir Info about Water Levels at the Lake Average Air Temperatures Purchase Watauga Lake Map
