Join us in Austin Monday, January 28 to hear how Texas legislators are proposing to tackle the state's water issues.<\/p><\/div>\n

Please join us in Austin tonight, Monday, January 28th, for a panel examining water issues in the state<\/a> and some of the solutions that the legislature is considering. The panel will feature members of the legislature, including State Senator Glenn Hegar<\/a> and State Representatives Drew Darby<\/a> and\u00a0Lyle Larson.<\/a> It will be free and open to the public.<\/p>\n

Some of the issues on tap: how to fund new water projects<\/a>; efforts to fund and encourage conservation<\/a>; easing conflicts between cities and farmers<\/a>; and reducing the amount of water used for fracking<\/a>. This is an opportunity for you to hear about some of the solutions for a growing, thirsty state directly from legislators.<\/p>\n

The panel will run for one hour and include an audience Q&A.<\/p>\n

We’ll be meeting at the Cactus Cafe<\/a> on the University of Texas at Austin campus. You can RSVP on Facebook<\/a>, or just show up tonight. Doors open at 5:30 p.m.<\/p>\n
