- Texas Water Availability Modeling
34Water Availability
- 1996 Texas drought
- Governor Bush asks how much water do we have?
How much are we using? How much do we need? --
Ooops. No good answers! - 1997 Senate Bill 1 passed by Legislature
- Regionalizes water planning in Texas and
establishes surface water availability modeling
35Improvements from Senate Bill 1 Water

Sulphur
Brazos
Trinity
8000 water right locations

done separately for each of 16 regions, then the
results combined using Arc Hydro Network to
integrate across the whole basin
