Did you know Texas boasts 23 river basins, with surface water being a vital resource, comprising nearly 42% of the state's water usage in 2019? Despite its significance, surface water is projected to rise to 46% of the total water supply by 2070, according to the 2022 State Water Plan. Yet, challenges like aging reservoirs and limited new reservoir sites loom, underscoring the need for sustainable water management strategies. #TREADCoalition #TexasWater https://lnkd.in/gj4rdrVJ

According to a new study, 55% of the water in the United State's rivers can be traced back to small, ephemeral streams and wetlands. It goes to show that even wetlands that may seem insignificant, whether they be small or dry for part of the year, are still important to the overall health of our watersheds. https://lnkd.in/eZPcymmE

“Activists are hell to live with but they make great ancestors” – Robert Liberty 51 years ago, Oregon defined itself as a visionary pioneer for sound land use planning. In reaction to the unbridled growth and urban sprawl across farmland and forests of the 1960s and 1970s, Oregonians advocated for a solution to the rapid loss of natural resources and shared values. On May 29, 1973, Senate Bill 100 was signed into law. This landmark system it created was based on this simple concept: urban uses and development belong inside cities and towns while rural lands should be preserved for farms, forests, and open space. Since then, the legacy of SB 100 has shaped our remarkable quality of life and allows us to continue defending and planning for Central Oregon’s livable future.
