Thank you @LCRA and John Hofmann for the amazing tour. It was great learning about the history and operations of Mansfield Dam including the flood control component.

Floodgate operations from Lake Buchanan today. LCRA opened a total of four floodgates at Buchanan Dam on July 14 – the first floodgate operations there since May 2019. This coordinated response helps manage significant water inflows across the Highland Lakes system.
