Online – Water Wonks Hour Lecture Series #5: The Future of Water in the Hill Country
May 28 @ 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm
Free
Join us and Robert Mace, the Executive Director and Chief Water Policy Officer at The Meadows Center for Water and the Environment and a Professor of Practice in the Department of Geography and Environmental Studies at Texas State University as we discuss the future of water in the hill country. Texas is growing like wildfire with a 73-percent increase in population expected by 2070. Although much of this growth will be in urban areas, the urban halos—the counties that surround urban areas—will see transformational growth. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the Hill Country, an environmentally sensitive area with numerous headwater streams, a regionally stressed aquifer, and the catchment for the Edwards Aquifer.
