[edit] Lake Livingston and the Southern Basin

Based apon the info given in the Trinty River article, I feel the writer was someone from the Dallas or upper river area. The Southern basin is basically not covered at all here. I have a fairly good wealth of southern information, however my grammar isn't the best, and I don't have the time to sit here and write an article based on my infomation. I will help where I can, but its to big of a project in my opinion to spearhead. Below I am giving the basics of my info, its something for someone to work on and expand.

I added a line about Lake Livingston. I was supprised there is no topic (and prior to me no mention) of Lake Livingston, and there is on Lake Conroe. Lake Livingston is an older and bigger lake, while 2/3's of the water supply of both lakes are owned by Houston (the other 1/3 for LL is TRA if someone wants to drop that in). I suppose the Lake Conroe area having a higher population has something to do with it.

Otherwise, information that could be inserted that I will not put in at this time is rumors continue to come up once in a while along the southern trinity basin of the shipping channel to dallas, or rumors of another dam in the southern basin. Both rumors are unfounded. Also mention could be inserted about Hurrican Rita's damage to LL's earthen dam, cracks in the gates in the 80's or 90's for LL. Also during the return from Rita, US 59 and other southern routes (FM787, SH105, US90?) to houston were shut down due to release of water because of the damage to the earthen dam. Releases from LL during periods of heavy rain flood those who live below. Amd if anyone is into the bigfoot thing, there have have been plenty of reports of people seeing bigfoot in the lower trinty basin. I didn't feel like composing to fit all these things in right now, nor tracking down sources for some of the info but i thought i would leave things to people to expand apon in this topic. I am sure I will come back and fill in some more on these and other things.

If you want to take apon adding some of the above, contact me and I will provide any more information I have. Feedloadr 15:56, 21 May 2006 (UTC)Feedloadr
