Water News from Austin, Texas

Three headlines from the October 10, 2013 Austin American-Statesman tell the story of water in Texas:
  • Perry pushes Prop, 6 to pay for water projects - our no-tax Governor is actively promoting the "transfer" of $2 billion for much needed water projects. 
  • A&M, Israel working on a deal - The nexus of water and energy is producing the development of a unique pact that focuses on petroleum (producing petroleum engineers for Israel) and water (water innovation from Israel for Texas).
  • Brazos River Authority restricting water usage - Retail customer cities must cut use by 10%.  Georgetown, Texas is to the point it is not allowing lawn watering during the day.  Lake Georgetown is down almost 20 feet.
