Water Quality Education
Project Overview
With the use of federal funds from USDA-NRCS, the Texas Water Resources Institute (TWRI) along with Texas Cooperative Extension (TCE) will develop a water quality education program to help landowners, homeowners, businesses, and municipalities reduce nonpoint sources of pollution. Likewise, TWRI and TCE will assist BRA and TCEQ in developing a watershed protection plan for Lake Granbury.
