 Take
Action
"As Texans we all have a role to play in managing our aquatic
resources. Whether we know it or not, we all live in a watershed. The
raindrops that fall in our lawns, fields, woods and pastures ultimately
either replenish an aquifer or flow into a creek or stream. As a result,
the actions we take and the decisions we make with how we use, manage,
conserve and value water impact the needs of those downstream, including
our fish and wildlife. Thanks for caring about Texas wild places and wild
things. Our aquifers, springs, creeks, rivers, bays, estuaries and gulf
waters need you more than ever."
--Carter Smith, executive director Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
Through committed conservation efforts and planning, we can have
enough good quality water for people and wildlife.
