CCCA Community Program on “The Relationship Between Land and Water” with Dr. Robert Mace
The water resources of Texas start at the land. The land is where the rain falls, our streams flow, and our aquifers replenish. With over 95 percent of land privately owned in Texas, landowners are the greatest caretakers of the quantity and quality of water across the state. As land changes, so does the water. Increased growth, land development, and climate variability create challenges for local and regional water supplies requiring creative solutions to better protect both land and water for the future. This presentation will discuss what’s happening, what’s expected to happen, and what we can do for the future.
