Water plan for San Antonio and LCRA faces long road to reality
Texas eyes a near billion dollar water deal as San Antonio and the Lower Colorado River Authority pursue a memorandum of agreement and a seven year feasibility study. The plan would pipe Colorado River water 170 miles to San Antonio via reservoirs and a treatment plant, with enabling legislation and years of construction ahead. The scheme aims to secure 150000 acre feet annually for 80 years, stabilize lake levels and aid rice growers, framed against past droughts and Texas water demand. Universities Angelo State and Southwest Texas State consider name changes amid regional identity debates.
