As a water-scarce state with deep cultural attachments to private
property rights, Texas has taken a unique evolutionary path with
regard to water management. This new resource surveys past and
current challenges for managing both groundwater and surface water,
telling a comprehensive story about water policy in Texas, and
identifying opportunities for improving future governance. Texas is
the U.S. state that has experimented most thoroughly with water
markets. In Water Policy in Texas, experts from broad disciplinary
perspectives describe and analyze Texas water laws and management
agencies, and the practices of water marketing and rate making in
Texas. They explore the unique cases of the Edwards and Ogallala
aquifers, the science and policy of environmental water
stewardship, the extensive history of formalized water sharing with
neighboring states and Mexico, and the opportunities for harnessing
new technologies that might aid in addressing scarcity. This
multidimensional, interdisciplinary book will be a valuable
resource for students and researchers of Texas water policy, as
well as for water managers worldwide, particularly those working
within contexts of water scarcity.
