“What’s happening today in Texas and the Southwest should be a wake-up call on climate change. These are the kinds of conditions that we expect to see more often as climate warms,” - Dr. Julia Cole, Professor of Geosciences, University of Arizona (Project on Climate Science)

Water for Texas 2012State Water Plan
Texas Water Development Board
“In serious drought conditions, Texas does not and will not have enough water to meet the needs of its people, its businesses, and its agricultural enterprises.”

Where Does Our Water Go?

Urban Water Usage
![Page 9: The Master Composter / YardWise Revival. “What’s happening today in Texas and the Southwest should be a wake-up call on climate change. These are the.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070409/56649e7e5503460f94b81b94/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Water Quality• Non-point source pollution accounts for
65% river pollution, 76% lake pollution in U.S.
• More than 200 stream segments in Texas do not meet water quality standards.
• Farming accounts for 10% of U.S. pesticide use – buildings, lawns, gardens, and other landscaped areas receive 90%.
![Page 10: The Master Composter / YardWise Revival. “What’s happening today in Texas and the Southwest should be a wake-up call on climate change. These are the.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070409/56649e7e5503460f94b81b94/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Water or Power?
• Electrical generators consume 3X household water use, per household.
• Utilities could account for 60% of all
non-farm water use by 2030.- 150 coal-fired plants planned in US.
• “…water is becoming a greater permitting issue than air quality.” – Thomas Feeley,
US DOE National Energy Technology Laboratory

Oil Boom = Water Bust?
• Rising oil prices spur increased production from marginal, obstructive geological formations
• Hydraulic fracturing
“fracking” = high pressure
injection of sand, water,
& chemicals (some
hazardous) to release oil & gas deposits
![Page 12: The Master Composter / YardWise Revival. “What’s happening today in Texas and the Southwest should be a wake-up call on climate change. These are the.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070409/56649e7e5503460f94b81b94/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• Fracking one well in S.
Texas Eagle Ford shale
requires 13,000,000
gallons of water.
• Water for S. Texas fracking to increase 10X by 2020, 20X by 2030 - groundwater pollution feared.

The Four Laws of Ecology
• Everything must go somewhere.
• Everything is connected to everything else.
• There’s no such thing as a free lunch.
• Nature knows best .(Nature recycles life).
