The list of rivers of Texas is a list of all named waterways, including rivers and streams that partially pass through or are entirely located within the U.S. state of Texas. Across the state, there are 3,700 named streams and 15 major rivers accounting for over 191,000 mi (307,000 km) of waterways.
The flow rate of the Llano River, in Llano, had increased from its normal rate of 150 cfs to 275,000 cfs. [5] The river crested at 39.9 feet, its highest level in more than 80 years and just 1.5 feet below its record high of 41.5 ft, set in 1935.
The Colorado River is an approximately 862-mile-long (1,387 km) river [5] in the U.S. state of Texas. It is the 11th longest river in the United States [5] and the longest river with both its source and its mouth within Texas. [6] Its drainage basin and some of its usually dry tributaries extend into New Mexico.
The average flow rate at the mouth of the Amazon is sufficient to fill more than 83 such pools each second. The estimated global total for all rivers is 1.2 × 10 6 m 3 /s (43 million cu ft/s), [ 1 ] of which the Amazon would be approximately 18%.
The Fischer Store Road bridge over the Blanco River west of Wimberley was destroyed by flood waters. The Blanco River, downstream from the bridge, at Wimberley reached a record crest. The gauge failed at 40 feet and the USGS later estimated the crest at 44.9 feet with peak flow of 175,000 cubic feet per second (5,000 m 3 /s). This height was ...
The Trinity River as viewed from Reunion Tower in Dallas in August 2015. The Trinity River is a 710-mile (1,140 km) [2] river, the longest with a watershed entirely within the U.S. state of Texas. It rises in extreme northern Texas, a few miles south of the Red River. The headwaters are separated by the high bluffs on the southern side of the ...
At flows greater than 1,000 cu ft/s (28 m 3 /s), there should be very few tubes on the water. Flows greater than 1,000 cu ft/s (28 m 3 /s) and less than 2,500 cu ft/s (71 m 3 /s) are ideal for rafting and paddling. The flow is controlled by Canyon Dam, and by the amount of rainfall the area has received.
The river was later named after San Antonio de Padua by the first governor of Spanish Texas, Domingo Terán de los Ríos in 1691.
