No Land No Water. It’s simple. How we conserve and manage
Texas rural lands today will impact our water in the future.

The Problem

Where does water come from?

When it rains in Texas, that rain falls predominantly on a privately-owned farm or ranch. Yet Texas is losing her agricultural lands at one of the fastest rates in the country. When these farms and ranches cease to exist, they no longer capture rain, and no longer help recharge aquifers, or fill our rivers, streams and lakes.

The Solution

Conserve our rural lands, protect our water.

Less than one percent of the Texas population owns the farms and ranches that make up 85% of Texas land. How these farmers and ranchers manage and steward their lands impacts all Texans. Programs and policies that support and incentivize private lands conservation will have a profound impact on future water resources.
