Advocacy for a drought-proof water supply.
Texas Desalination Association was formed as an advocacy group in order to address changes in desalination policy and permitting required to assure the option of a drought-proof water supply.
Before 1990, not much was known about brackish and marine waters, so development opportunities for the public good were limited. After the 2011 drought, TexasDesal was established to highlight and implement the science and economic information regarding desal efforts and policy. There is a great need for an expert advocate for policy to ensure water stability, opportunity in the regulatory environment. For Texas communities and their industries.
Your support of TexasDesal translates directly into initiatives with elected officials and government agencies that will result in clear pathways for the utilization of desal technologies across the state.
To meet our state’s growing water demands, the Texas Desalination Association seeks modification of certain statutes and regulations in order to remove barriers to and encourage the development of brackish groundwater as a viable water resource.
Our 2020 Texas Legislative priorities will continue to create policy that benefits the industry and allows implementation of desal technologies.
Additional, detailed priorities are expected to develop because we stay current with the market and industry. Keeping the conversation relevant and actionable is our goal.
