Chapter 2 Regional Summaries - Texas Water Development Board

CONSERVATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Conservation strategies represent 74 percent of the total volume of water associated with all recommended
water management strategies in 2060. Water conservation was recommended for every municipal water user
group that had both a need and a water use greater than 172 gallons per capita per day (the regional average).

• Irrigation Water Conservation would provide up to 479,466 acre-feet per year of water in 2010 with a capital
cost of $346 million.
