URGENT: A request for your help to protect our local water resources.

Protecting the Colorado River Basin, Aquifers, and Bays of the Texas Gulf Coast

Urgent Notice

Monday, April 27, GMA-12 will vote on Desired Future Conditions for the Carrizo-Wilcox Groundwater Aquifers including the Simsboro Aquifer in Central Texas. It’s time to do the scientific studies needed to properly inform the decisions being made.

Please Contact your GMA-12 Representative before the meeting that starts at 10:00 AM

Thank You!

Greetings!

Sorry for the short notice! Below, please find my open letter to the GMA-12 representatives regarding the vote that will be taken tomorrow on this matter.

This is an important juncture in the process of properly managing the groundwater and surface water resources that we depend on in Central Texas. For too long there has been a rush to politically adopt Desired Future Conditions (DFCs) for the Carrizo-Wilcox and associated aquifers without doing the science necessary to understand and manage these resources in a way that make our water resources sustainable into the future.

Please contact your GMA-12 representative IMMEDIATELY and request that the two motions requested in my letter are acted on.

Motion to include the Colorado River Alluvium in the group of aquifers considered in the next round of DFC review.
Motion to hold the current DFCs at same levels while the nine factors for consideration for adopting the fourth round of DFCs are adequately renewed.

Thank you,

Steve Box
