How to read this gauge
The number above is an elevation, not a water depth. It is the height of the water surface above mean sea level, so Pasadena Lake (Nasa Road 1) reads around -1 ft even when the channel is low. What matters is the distance to the top of bank: the elevation at which water reaches the top of the channel at this location. For this gauge that is 6.5 ft.
The bottom of the channel here sits at -1.2 ft, so the channel is roughly 7.8 ft deep at this crossing. Harris County publishes the top-of-bank figure with each reading; it is their reference, not an estimate made here.
