'''Lake Meredith''' is a man-made [[lake]] formed by Sanford Dam on the [[Canadian River]] at [[Sanford, Texas]]. It is located about {{convert|30|mi|km}} northeast of [[Amarillo, Texas]] in the [[Texas Panhandle]]. It is a major source of [[drinking water]] for Amarillo and [[Lubbock, Texas]], located about {{convert|150|mi|km}} to the south along with many other [[town]]s in between and nearby. In 2003, the [[Canadian River Municipal Water Authority]] announced that it would reduce allocations to its member cities due to an ongoing [[drought]] and a continued drop in the water level in the [[reservoir (water)|reservoir]]. As of 2008, the lake continues to hit record lows and the majority of water supplied by CRMWA is now coming from wells in [[Roberts County, Texas|Roberts County]]. |

On June 1, 2008 the remains of a [[Beechcraft Skipper]] were discovered in the receding lake. The plane, reported missing on January 27, 1984, was on a two-hour flight carrying the pilot, Steven Lampe, 25 and Larry Lucas, both of Amarillo, TX. There were no eye witnessess to the crash.[http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,361284,00.html] |
