Securing Texas’ Water Future: Why Action is Needed Now

How TNLA Members Can Make a

Difference

Water is the lifeblood of Texas communities and industries, especially our green industry, which depends on reliable supplies. Yet, urgent action is required with over 8 million Texans affected by drought and aging infrastructure struggling to keep pace.

Legislative Efforts: A Game-Changer

State lawmakers, led by Senator Charles Perry, are making this legislative session pivotal for water policy. Perry, chair of the Senate Water and Agricultural Resources Committee, proposes allocating at least $1 billion annually to the Texas Water Fund. This funding could support critical projects like infrastructure maintenance, desalination, and drought mitigation.

Why It Matters to TNLA

For TNLA, this is a critical opportunity. Our members have seen firsthand how water shortages threaten economic growth and the green industry’s ability to thrive. Cities like Dripping Springs and Conroe have already paused new development due to water concerns, and South Texas agricultural operations have faced devastating setbacks.
