Texas Water Caucus
Through historic droughts and catastrophic floods, Texas has been fortunate to enjoy several decades of strong bipartisan water leadership. As a result, Texas has benefited from several pieces of landmark water legislation and significant investments in infrastructure and planning.
Texas is also, however, experiencing unprecedented population growth, aging and deteriorating water infrastructure, and a new generation of legislators who are new to Texas’ critical water needs. Despite our investment in water infrastructure, water supply needs are growing, and aging infrastructure is outpacing our investment.
The establishment of a bipartisan, non-voting Texas House Water Caucus is a historic opportunity to support a new generation of water champions at the Texas legislature, and ensure that water continues to be prioritized. The objectives of the Caucus are to:
Serve as a platform to inform legislators of our state’s most important water issues
Elevate water as a policy priority
Cultivate, inform, and inspire the next generation of water champions at the Texas Legislature
Texas Water Foundation is proud to be supporting the Texas House Water Caucus in its educational activities.
