Texas Water Development Board Outlines Strategic Plan to Secure Future Water Supply
· Texas Border Business
The Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) has outlined a strategic plan to secure the state's future water supply amid projected population growth and potential droughts. The plan anticipates a 53% population increase from 2030 to 2080, while current water supplies may decline by 10%. Irrigation currently consumes the most water, but municipal use is expected to rise significantly. The TWDB recommends over 10,000 projects, with an estimated cost of $174 billion, more than double the previous plan. Key strategies include conservation, reuse, and major reservoir projects to meet future demands.
