Researching methods for improving the enforceability of water conservation requirements

Surface water in Texas is allocated to users through a permit system.  As part of obtaining a permit, Texas wholesale water providers are required to submit a water conservation plan and the means for implementing and enforcing that plan. Wholesale providers must also ensure that their contracts with customers require those customers to develop and implement conservation plans. The clinic conducted research for the National Wildlife Federation and made recommendations for improving the enforceability of water conservation requirements in wholesale water contracts.
