It is the Board's view that population and economic growth of Texas will continue and that continued orderly development of Texas water resources to meet present and increasing future needs is imperative. In meeting the water requirements of the people of Texas, the Board recognizes that it is necessary to plan well so as to provide the necessary water resources while at the same time proper provision is made to protect the environment, in compliance with the Texas and national water laws and national environmental policy as expressed in the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972, the Water Resources Planning Act of 1965, the Safe Drinking Water Act, and the Water Resources Development Act of 1974.Item The Texas Water Development Board....(Texas Water Development Board., 1976) Texas Water Development Board.;No abstract availableItem Water for Texans: planning to meet our state's water needs today and tomorrow.(Texas Water Development Board., n.d.)

Large population centers which have developed, principally in the heavily industrialized areas such as Orange-Beaumont-Port Arthur, Houston-Baytown, and Corpus Christi, have also created a large local demand for water. Collectively municipalities, industry, mining, agriculture, and maintenance of adequate environmental conditions for continuing productivity of the estuaries make the coastal zone the most water-demanding area of Texas. Through the use of saline water by industry, where feasible, available water supplies have generally been adequate to meet the progressively increasing demands of the region, although heavy overdraft of ground water aquifers in localized ares has substantially contributed to an increasingly menacing pair of problems- land subsidence and saline water intrusion. However, even without considering fresh water needs of the estuaries, some areas of the coastal zone are fast approaching, or have already reached, critical shortages of fresh water.Item Water: Will Texas have enough?(n.d.)
