The water conservation strategy is feasible and recommended to be employedwith any other viable solution.11.1.13 DesalinationDesalination is a water management strategy that involves treating brackishgroundwater or seawater. The desalination strategy lead to developing facilitiesadjacent to well fields in the Carrizo or intake and treatment facilities on the shoreof the San Antonio Bay.Although desalination could meet the water needs of Caldwell County, at thistime this strategy is not a feasible solution. This strategy requires support frommany local, state, and governmental participants to be considered a viablesolution in meeting water needs for Caldwell County.11.2 ConclusionsThe strategies reviewed for use in meeting the future water needs of Caldwell Countyindicate that there are potential solutions but the implementation of any of theprojects will be costly and will require a dedicated effort to implement on a schedulethat does not limit growth or development within the county. Multiple strategies maybe implemented to ensure the “water future” of Caldwell County.The most viable near term strategies appear to be the development of the GBRA Mid-Basin Project and/or the HCPUA Project. Each of these projects will rely onwithdrawal of water from the Carrizo Aquifer. The GBRA Mid-Basin project has theadded advantage of groundwater plus surface water supplies.The use of a local ASR project to store surplus water in wetter years for futurewithdrawal is a strategy that merits further investigation. The ASR Project could becombined with the Mid-Basin Project or HCPUA to increase available water suppliesduring times of drought.Klotz Associates Project No. 0972.000.000January 201011-12Caldwell County Regional Water and Wastewater Planning StudyFinal Report
Developing water from the Simsboro Aquifer appears to be a strategy that could yieldsignificant amounts of water for use in the central Texas region including CaldwellCounty. Development of this project will depend on a large number of potential userswith significant needs coming together and jointly developing the project. Theschedule for development of his project appears to be beyond the time when waterwill be needed in Caldwell County.Desalination is a strategy that can meet the future water of the central Texas region.However, the cost and challenges associated with this project indicate thatdesalination will probably not be implemented within the planning horizon of thisstudy.Klotz Associates Project No. 0972.000.000January 201011-13Caldwell County Regional Water and Wastewater Planning StudyFinal Report
