Once every 12 yrs Texans have a chance to help shape their water future.

That chance comes tomorrow.

WATCH THIS SPACE: tomorrow starting @ 9am we'll be live-tweeting the #txlege Sunset hearing on the Texas Water Development Board.

Why is the Board so important? 1/

#txwater
Most Texans have never heard of the TWDB, but it’s crucial to you and your community. 2/
If groundwater or surface water flows through your tap, or if floods ever threaten your community, or if creeks and rivers you love are drying up, then you should care about how TWDB shapes Texas’ water future. 3/
Unfortunately, Texas faces significant challenges in ensuring that future is sustainable.

Un-checked growth, intensifying drought & floods, and fragile infrastructure all threaten Texas' delicate water balance. 4/
To address these challenges, we've developed 5 key action items for legislators during TWDB's Sunset review.

Read more about them here: texaslivingwaters.org/texas-needs-yo…

And follow our tweets during the hearing tomorrow.

It's a quietly critical day for all Texans.

Good morning folks! Welcome to a day where Texans from across the state call for meaningful action on our growing water challenges.

We'll be live-tweeting today's public hearing on the Texas Water Development Board.

What does the Board do & why does it matter?

Glad you asked! TWDB is the agency charged with "securing Texas' water future."

It leads the regional water & flood planning processes, it provides data collection & dissemination, financial assistance, & technical assistance to communities across the state.
In short, if surface or groundwater flows through your taps, if floods threaten your community, or if creeks & rivers you love are drying up, then you should care about how TWDB shapes Texas’ water future.

There are signs that future is increasingly threatened:
