Held water most years
Water in 7% of all satellite passes, 1984-2024
66% of its water area has since gone dry; 0% 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
Mostly plants or weed every year
Floating weed shows as crops or grass here, not as water
About three in four of these readings are right, so trust what holds for several years
