Abstract
The Lower Colorado River Authority-San Antonio Water System Water Project (LSWP) is a cooperative effort between two regions in central Texas. The general project area in south central Texas is shown in Figure 1. The LSWP would conserve and develop water in the Lower Colorado River (Texas) basin in three ways: 1) Reduce agricultural irrigation water demand through conservation practices, efficiencies and measures. 2) Capture and store excess and unused river flows. 3) Use limited amounts of groundwater for agriculture in the Lower Colorado Fiver Basin when surface water is not available.
