What this gauge tells you
The river below Longhorn Dam. Flow here is mostly whatever LCRA releases through the dams upstream, so it tells you about operations rather than rain: high sustained flow usually means flood releases from Lake Travis. During flood operations LCRA throttles releases to keep this gauge below 30,000 cfs / 33 ft.
