The Austin-Travis Lakes Watershed, also known as HUC 12090205, covers an area of approximately 930 square miles in central Texas. The watershed is characterized by a humid subtropical climate, with hot summers and mild winters. The hydrology of the watershed is dominated by the Colorado River, which flows through the area and provides a vital source of water for the region. Interestingly, the watershed has experienced significant growth in recent years, with the population increasing by approximately 20% between 2000 and 2010. This growth has had a significant impact on the watershed, with increased demand for water and changes in land use affecting the quality of surface water and reservoir constituents. Additionally, the area experiences occasional snowfall during the winter months, with the heaviest snowpack occurring in January and February. Overall, the Austin-Travis Lakes Watershed is a complex and dynamic system that is subject to a wide range of environmental factors and trends.
