lake level
Reservoir surface elevation
Lake level is the height of a lake's water surface, typically measured relative to sea level or some other fixed reference point.
Lake levels fluctuate with rainfall, evaporation, and water usage: The lake level dropped three feet during the drought.
Monitoring lake levels matters for navigation, water supply, and shoreline property.
