COE background on Addicks/Barker Flood Control Complex, released 2013, not at all reassuring.

Issues then include poorly engineered Emergency Spillways, voids under Main Spillway, seepage thru embankment, max Main Spillway discharge rate of 2000 cfs, and “damned if you release” (downstream flooding) and, “damned if you don’t release” upstream flooding.

Does that mean Cypress Creek is dumping water into the Addicks Res.?
