Texas Reclamation Flood Control Bill Promoted in Austin
A Texas Conservation Association call spurred a December Austin meeting of legislative, reclamation, and flood control leaders to draft a bill. It would fund surveys of streams and waterheads, measure flows and flood risks, identify storage sites, and estimate dam costs and power potential to aid irrigation and water supply. The plan seeks rapid passage as an emergency measure with future groundwork for a general conservation statute.
