Title: The Case for a Texas Water Market
Topic: Water Crisis Will Affect All Texans
Discussed by Kathleen White
with Texas Public Policy Foundation (www.TexasPolicy.com)
Part 1 of 3
The population of Texas could double by 2050, says a report released by the Office of the State Demographer. If this happens, the Texas population would swell to 54.4 million. What does this mean for the Texas water supply?
Kathleen White has some answers…
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Without water at an affordable price, will people move to Texas? Will they stay?
Can our current water system support a major increase in population?
In “The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels”, written by guest Kathleen White, one statement stands out:
“Every other boom in human history eventually hit a wall and then declined because resources dwindled –whether timber, cropland, pasture, labor, water, or peat [fuel source].” Listen as she explains this statement.
Thirty years from now, without planning now for new water sources, will there be enough water for a population that is expected to be twice as large as it is now?

The Texas Agriculture
