    Please look into Corpus Christi, Texas drilling Wells in various counties and aquifers to supplement their ignorant water policies. They’re just starting a 48 inch pipeline filling into the Angelina aquifer as well as many other areas. They have been debating water desalinization and not doing much about that which is my thought. Thoughts would be the best Reso.

    Cool fact…water is in the air..using a dehumidifier , filter and minerals. individuals can harvest their own water for small uses without being bankrupted.
    Don't count on this goverment doing anything.
