It's actually a constant-level reservoir. This is due to the fact that there is a dam at each end of said body of water. The lower Colorado River began being dammed (in several locations) in the 1930s in an effort to reduce flooding and generate hydroelectric power for then Central Texas region. There are seven dams creating seven reservoirs stretching from Lake Buchanan (in the Texas Hill Country) to their culmination at Lady Bird Lake (through central Austin).
