WATER REGULATION & CONSERVATION RESOURCES
STPRA has joined forces with Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association, the Texas Wildlife Association and the Texas Farm Bureau to protect property owners' private property rights in groundwater, while supporting reasonable, science-based regulation for the long-term sustainability of groundwater resources. To advocate these ideals, the supporting associations and organizations have established an educational program to assist members, property owners, legislators and policy makers in understanding current groundwater ownership and regulatory issues in Texas.

- 2012 Texas State Water Plan Interactive Website - The final version of the website features two new modules that illustrate the connections between users and their existing water suppliers and recommended future supplies from water management strategies. The website also allows users to search for or click on a particular groundwater or surface water source to find out who else may rely on that same water source, now and in the future. As an increasing number of projects from the state water plan are implemented in part because of the State Water Implementation Fund for Texas approved in 2013, this information has become especially important.
