Managing our water resources is one of the most critical issues facing Texas today. The state’s population is growing rapidly and the threat of drought is increasing, putting pressure on limited water supplies. The availability of fresh water supplies to meet the basic physiological needs of wildlife is a growing issue in wildlife and natural resource conservation. The San Antonio Bay Partnership is collaborating with other conservation partners on a “Water for Wildlife” initiative, which currently includes the following components: (1) installation of water wells to provide groundwater for wildlife during times of drought, (3) completion of a water well suitability analysis to determine the ideal location for water well installation, and (3) examination of strategies to secure environmental flows for wildlife.
