1984-2021
Held water most years
Water in 17% of all satellite passes, 1984-2024
13% of its water area has since gone dry; 0.1% is new water
4 years not counted: the satellite saw under half the lake
Floating weed looks like dry land to this record, so a weed-covered year can read as dry
2017-2025
No one cover holds over half of it in most years
About three in four of these readings are right, so trust what holds for several years

After monsoon, Oct 2025 to Dec 2025
- 27% open water
