WATER COUNCIL ASKS FOR FEEDBACK

Leaders in Texas water resource planning and management are continuously striving to manage limited supplies in a prudent and efficient manner. In order to better understand the types of challenges that our communities face and the types of planning resources needed, The Water Conservation Advisory Council has developed a Conservation Survey that is now available to users.

The objective of the survey is to obtain preliminary data from varying water user groups across Texas in order to see what types of water conservation trends are taking place. The three main categories of questions include questions on Public Awareness, Metrics and Data, and Strategy Implementation. Please take the time to fill out this very important survey and share your information. The Council appreciates your consideration in assisting members of the Council in our efforts to fulfill charges from the Texas Legislature. We would also appreciate it if you would forward or share the Conservation Survey link with your membership as well.

Please visit the Water Conservation Advisory Council web page to access the Conservation Survey.

If you have questions about this request or the survey, please contact the Council’s Survey Administrator, by telephone at 512.463.1667, or by e-mail at ConservationSurvey@twdb.state.tx.us

» TXOGA IS RECOGNIZED FOR EFFORTS IN HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS
By William Ennis | Published 03/12/2008 | Recent News |
In January, 2008, the Texas Oil & Gas Association was recognized for contributing to Hurricane Relief Efforts in a proclamation signed by Governor Rick Perry.  The effort to evacuate 3.1 million people in Texas in preparation for Hurricane Rita in 2005 still resonates as a continued opportunity to improve  preparedness plans for any evacuation of this nature and size.

Following a study and recommendations, Governor Perry signed an Executive Order on March 21, 2006 ordering improvements in fuel availability during a mass evacuation.  TXOGA continues to participate in the planning and practicing for such instances.  In the 2007 hurricane season, Hurricane Dean's threats to the Texas Coast challenged these plans.  Although,  Dean didn't impact the Texas Coast, the fuel industry was prepared for the worst.

The Plan's success can be attributed to the state-private partnership and the flexibility of the plan.  Since the industry is plugged into the state's evacuation plans, Texas is better served.
