Unfortunately the article doesn't get into too much detail about the particular legal argument being made.

Given the state government has taken actions intended to address the water level in the lake it would appear that the fact of the water level being a problem isn't the main point of dispute. I'm not entirely familiar with US law but I guess the legal question might be whether the state's actions are sufficient to protect the lake and also whether the sufficiency or insufficiency is a justiciable matter (rather than a political/legislative one).

This seems to be a copy of the original written arguments from the plaintiffs. [1]
