Water

Recognizing the critical importance of water as a precious resource, Representative Brad Buckley prioritizes its protection and preservation in Bell and Lampasas Counties amidst rapid growth. Brad's proactive approach led to the authorship and passage of legislation during the 86th legislative session, mandating the Texas Water Development Board to conduct a comprehensive study on the Edwards and Trinity Aquifers. By assessing their impact on groundwater conditions, this initiative aims to provide essential data crucial for effective water resource management and conservation. With a steadfast commitment to stewardship, Brad advocates for maximizing water usage and potential through informed decision-making, with ongoing studies exploring the feasibility of storing excess surface water in aquifers to bolster future water supplies for communities across Central Texas.
