FAQ

Quick answers

"Full pool" means the lake is full — 681 feet above sea level for Lake Travis. That is the level the LCRA aims for to balance water supply, recreation, and releases downstream.

Rainfall in the upstream Colorado River watershed and releases from Buchanan Dam raise the lake. Evaporation, water-supply withdrawals, environmental flows, and Mansfield Dam releases lower it.

The level refreshes roughly every 15 minutes, straight from official LCRA measurements.
