The Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) and the San Antonio Water System (SAWS) have cooperated to develop a true win-win project that will provide a firm water supply for the residents of San Antonio while ensuring the economic and environmental health of the lower Colorado River basin, from the Highland Lakes to Matagorda Bay.
