It has been said "Whiskey is for drinking and water is for fightin." In Texas, water is our most valuable resource, and has become increasingly scarce with our State's population explosion. Naturally, ownership, control and use of water carry tremendous legal and financial implications. Meanwhile, multiple layers of governmental regulation have made acquisition, development, use, marketing, and transmission of water in Texas increasingly complex.

Texas the State of Flowing Water Video Now Available for Online Viewing
Texas the State of Flowing Water is a presentation of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. This one-hour documentary made up of eight segments is an excellent resource for those interested in water issues faced by Texans today. I highly recommend that anybody with a serious interest in (or love of Texas water) watches it.
The video may now be watched for free online. CLICK HERE.
Some very real wisdom is stated in the closing moments of the documentary:
"The first thing we need to do as Texans is become educated and informed about all the issues surrounding our water. We need to know the source of our water. We need to know how to protect that water. We need to know how we can use that water as conservatively as possible to make sure that more water persists for future generations. We need to look to be active in our local communities to help protect our water quality and our water quantity, we need to help support organizations that are working to help conserve our water for fish and wildlife and people and our economies but ultimately we need to hold ourselves accountable for taking action to conserve water on an individual basis."
