Monthly time series of the average water levels in the Elephant Butte Reservoir. Water levels in the Elephant Butte Reservoir have varied widely over the years. Water levels were generally low from the late 1940s to early 1980s. Following high levels during the 1980s and 1990s, a large decline occurred in the early 21st century in response to severe drought conditions. In recent years, levels have approached record lows due to the extended drought. Source: USBR.
