Canyon Lake Water Crisis: What They’re Not Telling You | Hard Knock University Breakdown

The drought is real. The lake is low. And the only thing flowing freely is misinformation.

I'm Mark Caples — local contractor, author of The Hard Knock School of Project Management, and host of the Hard Knock University Podcast. In this special episode, I break down the full April 22, 2025 Canyon Lake Water Management meeting, expose the hard truths about our water crisis, and deliver a no-BS call for leadership, conservation, and accountability.

From Army Corps engineers to the Texas Water Company, this meeting wasn’t just about Canyon Lake — it was a masterclass in how communities sink or swim based on real leadership.

💧 Key Takeaways:

Why Canyon Lake isn’t just a playground — it’s a flood-control reservoir

How misinformation is spreading faster than the drought

Why blaming engineers won’t refill the lake

What developers don’t want you to hear

The truth about water allocation, evaporation, and permits

📢 This is more than a recap. It’s a #HardKnockLesson in personal responsibility and resilient leadership.
