The San Marcos River is a source of fun and recreation. Many people enjoy spending their leisure time on or near the river, but the state's prolonged drought is taking a toll. The San Marcos River is down almost three feet because of the lack of rain.
Much of the river habitation has been affected by the drought and the lower than normal flow. For example, officials are concerned about an already endangered plant called Texas Wild Rice. Erosion of the river bank is another issue for those who enjoy the San Marcos River.
