The newly-minted 2013 promises to be an exciting year for water in Texas. San Antonio enters the year in Stage 2 conservation/watering restrictions, the drought lingers, and the Legislature is gearing-up for an active session for water-related legislation.
I expect the new year to include profound governmental, public and media attention on Texas' looming water shortage and our need to engage in strategic planning and creative funding for new water supplies.
I hope those who visit this Blog have a blessed, healthy and prosperous 2013.
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. This site contains the musings of a water lawyer.
