Colorado Dams Face Big Test in 1950 Flood Season
Weather forecasters anticipate a flood potential between May and July 1950 as the two large Colorado River dams Buchanan and Mansfield near Austin must handle higher inflows. Mansfield Dam has prevented floods since Lake Travis formed, while officials note Lake Travis holds about 1,000,000 acre-feet of unused storage for controlled discharge to prevent cresting beyond safe levels.
