Development and surrounding communities are using water faster than what is being replenished over the past 6 years. 2021 was the only year the lake went up due to weather system. Unless demand decreases, it will continue to drop. It is now at a record low.
Exactly right! The entire Texas Hill country is experiencing drought and the country clubs and cities are draining the Edwards Aquifer. The Sabinal has been mostly dry for a few years now with all the springs not running. I see no relief other than temporary water from hurricanes and tropical storms, but the country clubs and all of the people will drain the water back down again.
I used to sail in regattas on Canyon Lake in the 1990's and 2000's, and it was one of my favorite venues. Clean, clear, fresh water. How I will miss it.
Nothing to do with "climate change" or "fossil" fuels. Hydrocarbons are not from fossils any ways, but I digress...this debacle is because of the piss poor water management and over development and natural habitat destruction. Also, having to water invasive non-native turf grass lawns is a big problem as well.

This lake will never be what it once was. They’ve allowed way too many water wells to be drilled in the vicinity due to the massive population influx. That’s ground water through aquifers that would’ve helped feed this lake. Canyon Lake is a shell of itself from just four years ago. That and pumping water to other cities and yes, some drought, but Texas has been getting heavy rains in areas that feed this lake.
Canyon like Lake Travis will never be the same. I live on LT from 83-91 and can only remember once when the lake was very low ie 25 ft. But with the right rain fall and in certain areas, LT could fill up over a 2-3 day period. Not any longer. Austin has half a million more people that what the Lake can sustain ie usage and we have not had significant rainfall in several years.

Nothing to do with the climate change boogeyman
To many people moving to Texas, most precious resource we have and the people responsible just care about money from the developers, politicians!

Yup
100% accurate statement

Once Canyon Lake is fully drained then the government will figure out a way to fix it at taxpayers expense.. .

Too many people moved to that area!
It is not that the rate of consumption has increased that much but it is because the Guadalupe River no longer has enough water to flow into the lake.

Nothing to do either the climate change boogeyman
just went sailing there yesterday had a great time, maybe because the two young women I was with were 38 years younger than me. What low water?
That's the kind of attitude that got us here in the first place.
We just need a tropical depression and the lake will fill back up…
Camped there a lot in the early 70s
Shit changes, deal with it.
