Water for Texas plan draws favorable comments from lawmakers
Legislators and water leaders largely back the Texas Water Development Board's 3.7 billion plan to rescue Lower Rio Grande irrigation, linking multiple reservoirs on the San Antonio Guadalupe and Lavaca-Navidad basins and a 190 mile canal to the Lower Valley. The proposal includes 14 connected reservoirs plus 46 enlargements and a West Texas focus with recharge projects and potential import of Columbia River water by 1985.
