Lake storage is currently at 1.16 million acre feet, below the first trigger point for Stage 1, but still well above the 900,000 acre feet amount which triggers a Stage 2 conservation request.
There are several water providers that supply local utilities in the Austin metro, two of the largest being LCRA and the Brazos River Authority. The Drought Contingency Plan by LCRA is based on the combined storage of lakes Buchanan and Travis.
The Brazos River Authority also indicates there may be enough water to make it through August. The agency's worst case scenario only has Lake Proctor and Lake Somerville in the Warning category.
