However, nobody can say that this important issue

High Plains Goal:
Managing Ogallala Aquifer

However, nobody can say that this important issue is being neglected. Cotton producers, groundwater conservation districts and the Texas legislature are taking a proactive stance in protecting the aquifer's water.

Legislature Takes Action

In 2005, the legislature passed a bill that mandates water conservation planning for Texas by requiring Groundwater Management Areas (GMAs) to define desired future conditions (DFCs) within their area.

Simply put, groundwater conservation districts like the High Plains Underground Water Conservation District face the task of looking to the future and defining the amount of groundwater available for future generations in the aquifers they manage.
