Water
All things depend on water. Many aquifers in Texas are shrinking. This is due to excessive water loss caused by leaky pipes, inefficient irrigation methods, and the efforts of a few billionaires to privatize our water. We need greater investments in and implementation of water conservation programs and more efficient irrigation. While desalination is promising, we must lower the cost of desalination plants as well as determine what to do with the brine (without sacrificing the Texas fishing and/or shrimping industry).
We must come together to ensure all Texans have access to affordable, clean water.
