The Texas Water Foundation is dedicated to educating all Texans about the vital role water plays in the health, economic growth and quality of life of the Lone Star State. Through symposiums, community partnerships and other outreach efforts, we are engaging and empowering citizens to take personal responsibility for conserving and preserving water resources in Texas.

6. The Texas Drought. website<http://agnews.tamu.edu/drought/>

The extreme drought conditions, which began in much of Texas in the spring of 1998, have resulted in extreme losses to Texas agriculture and those families and industries associated with it. This web site was developed by the faculty of The Texas Agricultural Extension Service and Texas Agricultural Experiment Station to provide information and alternatives that might reduce further losses to the beleaguered agricultural industry in Texas. It includes information from these agencies, plus links to other departments at Texas A&M University and other state and national agencies.
