Texas BAYCAST is an operational hydrodynamic modeling system developed by the Texas Water Development Board to simulate water circulation, water levels, salinity, and temperature across Texas bays, estuaries, and nearshore coastal waters.

Together with partners across the state, the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) has developed TexMesonet — a statewide earth observation data collection network. TexMesonet establishes a unifying architecture for networks across Texas, aggregating data into one central location that includes stations maintained by the National Weather Service (NWS) and several other regional and local entities. And, TWDB continues to strategically add its own managed stations to improve statewide coverage.
TexMesonet Historical DataCurrent data collection activities for the Estuary Monitoring Program are published within a day to maintain a data collection and analytical study program focused on determining the effects of and needs for freshwater inflows to the state's bays and estuaries. The Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) operates water quality monitoring stations throughout Texas bays and estuaries to collect environmental data that support resource management, scientific research, and freshwater inflow studies. This portal provides near real-time observations with approximately a one-day reporting delay. For historical records and the complete monitoring archive, please visit Water Data for Texas (WDfT).
