Small bodies of water can be found at all times of the year throughout the Greenbelt; however, the creek bed that runs along the spine of the Greenbelt actively flows only 1 to 2 months out of the year depending on precipitation levels. The Barton Creek tributary feeding the Colorado River contributes to the area's highly concentrated vegetation.
Bathymetric charts showcase depth using a series of lines and points at equal intervals, called depth contours or isobaths (a type of contour line). A closed shape with increasingly smaller shapes inside of it can indicate an ocean trench or a seamount, or underwater mountain, depending on whether the depths increase or decrease going inward.
Elephant Butte Reservoir is a reservoir on the southern part of the Rio Grande in the U.S. state of New Mexico, 5 miles (8.0 km) north of Truth or Consequences.The reservoir is the 84th largest man-made lake in the United States and the largest in New Mexico by total surface area and peak volume.
The reference water levels are used on inland waterways to define a range of water levels allowing the full use of the waterway for navigation. [1] Ship passage can be limited by the water levels that are too low, when the fairway might become too shallow for large ("target", "design") ships, or too high, when it might become impossible for the target ships to pass under the bridges.

Greenbelt Park is a park in Greenbelt, Maryland, that is managed by the National Park Service as part of National Capital Parks East. The forested park lies approximately 10 miles (16 km) northeast of Washington, D.C. , and is situated just within the Capital Beltway (which bounds the park to the northeast).
The main reasons for sea level fluctuations in the last 15 million years are the Antarctic ice sheet and Antarctic post-glacial rebound during warm periods. The current sea level is about 130 metres higher than the historical minimum. Historically low levels were reached during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), about 20,000
The dam's average discharge is 20 cubic meters per second; however, it varies greatly based on lake water levels and the energy company's hydroelectric needs. [ 12 ] [ 13 ] [ 14 ] While the flowage's irregular nature makes it difficult to determine an average depth or volume, these determinations can be made for some of the old lake basins ...
The Chatfield Reservoir Reallocation Project, a US$171 million construction project that took place between 2017 and 2020, created an additional 20,600 acre-feet (25,400,000 cubic meters) of water storage in the reservoir, raising its level by about 12 feet (3.7 meters). The project involved moving some of the surrounding park's facilities back ...
