In spite of the rainfall east of I-35 in June, the severe drought that began early in 2000 across the southwest parts of South Central Texas spread again in July to cover all but the southeast counties.  Little to no rain was recorded across these counties in July, and nearly all river levels were reported to be low.  Aquifer levels and lake levels were approaching all time low readings, and strong conservation measures were enacted across much of the area.  Numerous small creeks and streams ceased flowing.   Agricultural activities were essentially brought to a halt.
