Water: Regional Resource Summit

October 20, 2011
8 a.m. – 1 p.m.
Hyatt Regency DFW, Terminal C

As recently reported in The Texas Tribune, increases in population and our recent drought bring up a very important question for North Texans: Do we have enough water for now and for the future?

The population in Texas is expected to increase 82 percent between the years 2010 and 2060, growing from 25.4 million to 46.3 million people. [...] Annual economic losses from not meeting water supply needs could result in a reduction in income of approximately $11.9 billion annually if current drought conditions approach the drought of record, and as much as $115.7 billion annually by 2060, with over a million lost jobs.
