Lake Livingston was completed in 1971 as the result of a contract between the Trinity River Authority of Texas and the city of Houston. TRA financed and constructed the lake, along with Lake Livingston Dam, and continues to own and operate both. Lake Livingston has a normal pool elevation of 131 feet above mean sea level and supplies water to four surrounding counties, plus the city of Houston. Stocked with striped and Florida bass, Lake Livingston is known as one of the best fishing spots in Texas.
Lake Livingston Dam, constructed across the Trinity River approximately seven miles southwest of Livingston, is 2.5 miles long. Lake Livingston has no flood control or flood storage capacity — flow through the dam is controlled by 12 tainter gates in a concrete and steel spillway. Operation of the spillway mirrors river behavior — as river flow increases, discharges will increase as well.
No electric cars should be sold in Texas, if people want a "clean" vehicle. Should be a disclaimer on electric cars telling prospective buyers where electricity comes from - natural gas, coal and oil.
