Chapter 2 Regional Summaries - Texas Water Development Board

$499.2 million (Appendix A). Implementing the recommended water management strategies will meet regional
needs projected to occur for 2020 and beyond.
CONSERVATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Conservation strategies for municipal and irrigation water users represent 19 percent of the total volume of
water associated with all recommended strategies in 2060. Municipal water conservation was recommended
for every municipal and county-other water user group with a need. Irrigation conservation is planned to be
accomplished through an irrigation canal lining strategy.
SELECT MAJOR WATER MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES
• Construction of Lake Ringgold would provide 27,000 acre-feet per year of water starting in the year 2050
with a capital cost of $383 million.
• Increasing the water conservation pool at Lake Kemp would provide up to 24,834 acre-feet per year of water
in 2020 with a capital cost of $130,000.
• Enclosing canal laterals for surface water conveyance in pipe would provide 13,034 acre-feet per year starting
in the year 2010 with a capital cost of $7.7 million.
• Wichita Basin Chloride Control Project would contribute to the provision of 26,500 acre-feet per year of
surface water starting in 2010 with a capital cost of $95 million.
