Giant Texas irrigation project aims to water 150000 acres
A Texas irrigation company led by Nichols and Texan investors plans a massive canal system along the Bratoy River in Port Bend County.

The project seeks to spread cultivation northward and boost the region’s grain and rice industries through new water control infrastructure.
