What this gauge tells you

The only public gauge on Lady Bird Lake. The lake is city-owned and held at a constant level (~428.6 ft above sea level), so this line should be nearly flat — a dip or spike means Longhorn Dam is passing floodwater through.

LCRA Hydromet site 4543 — hydromet.lcra.org. Readings are provisional.
