Bold plan to meet Texas water needs over fifty years
Special to The Light outlines a Texas Water Development Board plan to develop vast reservoirs and underground storage, moving up to 64 rivers and more than 2.2 million acre feet of municipal wastewater, with two huge canals to supply Dallas, Houston, West Texas and the Panhandle. It envisions a $10 billion program funded by federal and state loans and bonds, repaid by beneficiaries, plus tests by Texas agencies and hearings before voter approval in 1970.
