SUMMARY:Online - Webinar on Texas's Flooding Challenges with Texas Water Journal
DESCRIPTION:TWJ is hosting its first webinar! Join us for a program by Matthew Berg\, Ph.D. on “Texas’s Flooding Challenges.” Enjoy our inaugural webinar for free from the comfort of your home. \nEven before the 86th Texas Legislature began\, it was clear the session would feature a deluge of activity focused on addressing Texans’ experience with flooding. Much attention has been paid to Senate Bill 7 and Senate Bill 8\, which create major new statewide programs. Significant questions surrounded the implementation of these bills\, but answers have begun to flow recently. In his recent article in the Texas Water Journal\, “State Legislature\, Voters Move to Eighty-Six Texas’s Flooding Challenges”\, Matthew Berg\, Ph.D. wades into these uncertainties and the larger trends behind the legislative session. \nRegister for the webinar here:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_KhlUpTcnQ4WVSld91I_VCg \nRead Berg’s article here:\nhttps://twj.media/state-legislature-voters-move-to-eighty-six-texass-flooding-challenges/
