2013 Refresher: State Water Plan Funding

In 2013 the Legislature passed SJR 1 and HB 4 which created new funding mechanisms for funding the statewide water plan. Part of this new funding structure included $2 billion from the Texas Rainy Day Fund. [HB 4 (2013)]  [SJR 1(2013)]

The Texas Water Development Board has a plethora of materials on its website about the legislation and the rule making that followed. [TWDB]  There are a number of other resources as well; such as the Texas A&M Water Resources Institute that publishes the Texas Water Journal.
