If you ask someone where their water comes from, they will most likely smile and say “from the faucet.” Sure, that’s how we access our water, but most people don’t really consider where it originates.
For Texans, about 40 percent of water consumed is from surface water or water flowing in Texas’ rivers or stored in man-made reservoirs.
Once it’s taken from the river or reservoir, it may be used for many different purposes besides drinking water. The Texas Legislature created the Brazos River Authority to manage the surface water resources in the Brazos River basin including supplying the resource to numerous entities. Who are these entities and how is the water used?
Over the next several months, the BRA will highlight some of the organizations that access state water via the BRA. For the month of December, meet Gulf Coast Water Authority.
