A 2016 prediction: http://www.myfoxaustin.com/story/23613321/officials-predict-lake-travis-will-run...

Closes the article with "Most rice farmers have already been cut off because of the lower water levels on the Highland Lakes."

That's terrible I hope it never gets to that.  but without a lot of rain for many days it may stabilize but will not get any better.
