Longhorn Dam, at the base of Town Lake, must be opened to accomodate any inflow from Lake Austin, which simultaneously has inflow from Lake Travis. It marks the beginning of the return of the Colorado River, and with it, rapidly fluctuating river levels as water rises and falls upstream in the LCRA system of reservoirs. As a consequence, some people--or at least their cars--fall victim to muddy riverbeds.
