AUSTIN — Because of the drought, Lower Colorado River Authority officials recently decided not to lower three "pass-through" lakes in the Highland Lakes this year.
Lakes LBJ, Marble Falls and Inks are the pass-through waterways sandwiched between storage reservoirs Buchanan and Travis.
The authority usually draws down the pass-through lakes during January and February to help control the growth of hydrilla, milfoil and other "nuisance plants," spokeswoman Clara Tuma said.
