3 Ways Water Policy Has Been Suppressed in Texas. + 1 Solution

Carlos Rubenstein et. al. write that  water markets have been suppressed in 3 manners:

  • Conflicting interests by Groundwater Conservation Districts
  • Regulations by Groundwater Conservation Districts
  • Legislative requirements that devalue water such as the “junior water rights provision” when it comes to interbasin transfers

​The solution: new omnibus water bill to reform state regulations
