Conservation
The wasting of water can be prevented very easily. To use water more efficiently, start by putting outlets where the water from washing machines, showers, and dishwashers is distributed to the surrounding soils. This will allow you to recycle the unused water to trees, plants, grass, or whatever you have on your residence. In fact, you could also put in a reserve system with a small pump, and use that to water your land. We can install low flow shower heads and use high efficiency irrigation equipment. Self sufficient, low-maintenance landscaping should be installed. I believe mandatory cistern systems should be implemented in all new residential and commercial building projects in Texas. These systems, like that of the rest area on the way to Hondo, can also be incorporated with tall buildings as well as parking lots.


The immense importance of preserving and protecting our water supply should be understood by all citizens. To ensure a good quality of life for future generations, we must act now. We can start by contacting our state legislators and telling them they will not be reelected if they do not alter current water development plans. Attending local water meetings is also very important. Become an involved citizen and stress aggressive water conservation, water for the environment, and sustainable ground water use. We must change the state's current water plan or Texas will lose vital natural habitats and recreational areas that keep our natural heritage alive. We will suffer economically, and become ecologically unstable, thus not only threatening wildlife, but ourselves as well.
