The Lower Colorado River Authority’s Board of Directors approved its Water Supply Resource Plan in October 2010. The plan serves as a road map for meeting the lower Colorado River basin’s water needs to the year 2100. Those needs, according to the plan, could increase more than fourfold by the end of the century to about 670,000 acre-feet per year. Currently, LCRA has ample water to meet its customers’ needs for decades into the future through a repeat of the Drought of Record, the worst drought in recorded history. The Water Supply Resource Plan (WSRP) will help LCRA plan for and secure water supplies for the next 90 years. LCRA began its efforts to prepare a long-range water supply plan in 2008 by asking for public input and received valuable ideas and perspectives from the public that helped LCRA create the plan.
