Smarter Water For North Texas
    The Texas Conservation Alliance invites North Texans to an informative and positive program, "Smarter Water for North Texas."  The good news is that we have enough water in existing reservoirs to meet our water needs for the next 50-plus years.  We can avoid new reservoirs which would destroy many thousands of acres of bottomland hardwood forest, uproot families, and harm existing local economies . . . if we make the right water allocation and use decisions.  This program will allow us to explore low-impact water supply options which will allow us to avoid the monetary and human costs associated with unnecessary new reservoirs.
    The Texas Conservation Alliance works to protect Texas' rivers, forests, coastlines, wildlife, and other natural habitats.  The Alliance harnesses the energies and experience of Texans from varied backgrounds who share a common interest in protecting our state's natural resources.  The Alliance has an exceptional record of accomplishment over its forty-year history.
    Milton Hickman, the speaker, is a long time Dallas Sierra Club member, and volunteers with the Trinity River Audubon Center as an Eco-Educator.
