Joint project looks at Texas watershed

A large portion of the central United States is still under drought conditions, which has forced many to protect and preserve the current sources of water and to seek future sources. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Fort Worth District has agreed to work with numerous resource organizations to study how reservoir operations have affected ecological conditions in the Big Cypress Bayou and Caddo Lake in the piney woods of east Texas.

Water: One Resource, Many Uses

This originally appeared in a collaborative effort issue of IMPACT with The Nature Conservancy’s Sustainable Waters Program to highlight the cutting-edge work and research the program is conducting. I would like to give a big thanks to Nicole Silk and Andrew Warner of The Nature Conservancy for their hard work in organizing this unique and informative issue as well as their continued dedication to river protection.

Society’s expectation that ecosystem health receive adequate attention and accommodation has expanded this equation even further.
