Texas needs to start conserving water

The state of Texas needs to start conserving its water source.  According to texas living water, the state of Texas is projected to double its population by 2060, which will inevitably put a lot more pressure on the limited supplies of water.  Also, scientists have also concluded that Texas will be experiencing even more severe droughts than ever before.  Having so many issues with water today, Texas will inevitably run out of water in the future.  The rivers, lakes, and aquifers are already being placed in tremendous pressure because of ongoing droughts.  The state of Texas has issued more water rights, including more rivers being able to be pumped even when dried.  This means that the people of Texas need to manage its limited water supply as efficiently as possible.

Saving water, saves money.  I believe that saving water and using water as effectively as possible means that the people of Texas will save a lot more money.  The price of saving water and being able to use water effectively also means the prevention of creating unnecessary new dams and new water pipe systems.  Together as Texans, we can save money and use that money on other issues.  I believe that conserving water will be able to open up a list of solutions to many issues Texas face economically.
