Texas Water Development Board

Texas Water Development Board

Manages Texas water planning and infrastructure

Overview

The Texas Water Development Board manages the state's long-term water supply by coordinating regional planning and collecting environmental data. It provides low-interest loans and grants to local governments to fund infrastructure projects like reservoirs, treatment plants, and flood control systems. Unlike private consultants or local utilities, this agency operates as a central state authority that aligns local needs with a unified statewide strategy. Its goal is to ensure that all Texas communities have access to sufficient and clean water through sustainable resource management and financial support.
