Texans Seek Canadian River Project For Panhandle Water
Texans asked Congress to harness the Canadian River to supply 12 Texas cities with water. They proposed an $85 million package including a $27 million dam at Stanford and $54 million for aqueducts, with users repaying 95 percent of the investment. Senator Connally and Senator Johnson urged urgent approval, arguing the Panhandle is “living on borrowed time” and dependent on dwindling wells.
