Cedar culprits raise a Hill Country water debate in Bandera
Locals challenge geologist John Ashworth of the Texas Water Quality Board at a two hour meeting on February 15. They argue cedar brush and juniper reduce groundwater, urging removal and restoration of native grasses to improve infiltration and reservoir levels. Board officials defend current plans, cite regional conservation districts, and call for rain harvesting as a practical, low cost solution while noting limits of dam expansion.
