23 What To Do? Plan It! Build It! Value It! 29

24 Plan It! WE PLAN FOR Weddings Vacations Weekends Lunches Happy Hours WE DON T PLAN FOR Retirement Financial Emergencies Computer Problems WATER!!!

25 State Water Plan Regional State 50 Year Horizon Worst Case Scenario Access to SWIFT

26 Existing Water Supplies Projected Water Demand Surplus (+) or Need (-)

27 Real Consequences With NO NEW WATER $73 billion lost annual income Lost jobs = 424,

28 Right Now! BUSINESSES COMING TO TEXAS CARE

29 Build It! Conservation Other Surface Water Aquifer Storage & Recovery (ASR) Reservoir Groundwater Reuse Conjunctive Use Desalination

30 TWDB Financing Agricultural Water Conservation Loans/Grants (AG) Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) Economically Distressed Areas Program (EDAP) Rural Water Assistance Fund (RWAF) State Participation Program (SP) State Water Implementation Fund for Texas (SWIFT) Texas Water Development Fund (DFund)

31 Paris WATER LINE REPLACEMENT Drinking Water SRF - $3,400,778 Old, deteriorated water lines throughout distribution system Frequent leaks and breaks require constant Cost Savings = $500,778 repair Project replaces nearly 6 miles of water line between 40 and 100 years old Partial principal forgiveness

32 Marfa NEW WATER WELL SWIFT Program - $705,000 2 existing wells have aged Pump lodged in casing on one Additional well needed to ensure sufficient production Cost Savings for municipal = $87,888 demand

33 Value It! 39

34 Value of Water Over Time VALUE OF WATER Supply of Water Demand for Water Quantity FLOOD DROUGHT Conditions

35 Build It! Conservation Other Surface Water Aquifer Storage & Recovery (ASR) Reservoir Groundwater Reuse Conjunctive Use Desalination

36 Water Mgmt. Strategies Over Time VALUE OF WATER Desalination Conjunctive Use Reuse Quantity FLOOD Conditions DROUGHT Groundwater Reservoir ASR Conservation

37 Manage QUANTITY Over Time VALUE OF WATER Supply of Water BRIDGE STRATEGIES Demand for Water Quantity FLOOD Conjunctive Use ASR Reservoir DROUGHT Conditions
