Residents of Victoria were urged to conserve water because the Guadalupe River was lower than normal for this time of year due to low rainfall upstream. Victoria must limit its pumping from the river to no more than 10% of the river flow when the river level is below normal. Victoria implemented stage one of its drought contingency plan to lessen the need for pumping and to rely less on backup reservoirs.
