Local stakeholders invited to learn about, contribute to improving water quality
The Texas Water Resources Institute, TWRI, will host the fifth public meeting for the Davidson Creek Watershed Protection Plan, WPP, on Oct. 21 in Caldwell.
Presenters will share sources of potential bacteria pollution, and there will be a panel discussion featuring experts in watershed management and conservation practices.
The meeting begins at noon at the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service office in Burleson County, 1516 Farm-to-Market Road 166.
Attendees are asked to RSVP at tx.ag/DavidsonOct21 by Oct. 16. Participants are not required to have attended prior meetings, and anyone interested can review notes and presentations from previous meetings at davidson.twri.tamu.edu/meetings/.
Meeting details
The event aims to share critical location-based analysis that supports the ongoing development of the WPP.
Attendees will learn how and where focal points were located for potential bacteria loading across the watershed. The findings will help prioritize areas for targeted conservation efforts and best management practices, BMPs.
Attendees can also ask questions on implementing BMPs across Central Texas to improve water quality.
“Public input is strongly encouraged,” said Amanda Tague, TWRI research specialist with Texas A&M AgriLife Research, Bryan-College Station. “Your voice and involvement are critical to the success of this plan.”
Funding for developing the Davidson Creek WPP is provided by the Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board through the State Nonpoint Source Grant Program. TWRI is an AgriLife Research unit that combines expertise across The Texas A&M University System.
