Water Management Strategies
Several water management strategies have been recommended by the Llano Estacado Regional Water Planning Group as a way to conserve and preserve our regional water supplies.
The following strategies were recommended for the 2006 Regional Water Plan.
They include:
- Rainfall enhancement.
- Brush control. Increased water use efficiency (agriculture/urban).
- Recovery of capillary water from the Ogallala aquifer.
- Increasing natural recharge to the Ogallala aquifer.
- Desalinization of water from deeper aquifers.
- Interconnecting small towns, cities, and industries in the region to receive ground water from well fields and surface water from area reservoirs.
