shot in the dark here, and maybe a bit of a rant.
Lake Travis is the largest lake community in Texas, it's a great area that many people in Austin don't get out to enough. It is also a variable level lake, meaning it functions as a reservoir. Enabling lakes austin, lbj and marble falls to function as constant level lakes.
(This is where I wade out of my lane)
I am assuming that in order for LT to function as a constant level lake, DOWNSTREAM infrastructure improvements would need to be made? ie we would need the colorado river to function as a reservoir between austin and bastrop (which probably entails improvements to miller and longhorn damn to move more water)
Obv I know nothing about this. But I can only imagine the economy and wealth creation that would happen on lake travis were it 680-682' year round.
