Master Water Plan For Texas Needs Unified Approach
The Harper Herald argues Texas faces a looming water shortage despite rainfall in recent years. It urges political leaders and the public to share financial and administrative responsibility to craft a master water plan that treats underground and surface supplies separately yet integrates them for long term adequacy. It notes that underground wells and surface dams both play roles, with water districts saving farmers around $20 million in the High Plains by regulating irrigation spacing.
