Water for people and the environment
Water is an essential part of our everyday life, yet for most of us especially those living in urban areas, we probably do not think about water very often. We have come to expect that water will be there when we turn on our faucet. Only if we turn on our tap and nothing comes out, or if the water tastes bad or smells strange, or if we find our home flooded by a nearby creek during a heavy rain, do we give much thought to water. Our relative lack of attention to water is rapidly becoming a luxury that we in Texas cannot afford.
