Brazos River Authority
The Brazos River Authority or BRA was created in 1929 by the Texas Legislature as a quasi-governmental entity to manage the Brazos River as a water resource in Texas.[1] It was originally named the Brazos River Conservation and Reclamation District and renamed to the current name in 1953. The central office is located at 4600 Cobbs Drive in Waco.[2]

Reservoirs
The Brazos River Authority manages dams that create three reservoirs on the Brazos River and its tributaries:
- Lake Granbury on the Brazos River
- Lake Limestone on the Navasota River
- Possum Kingdom Lake on the Brazos River
The Authority will also manage the dam that will create Allens Creek Reservoir on Allens Creek, in the event it is ever built.
