Texas legislators debate bill to prevent new water exports amid aquifer protection concerns.
Texas lawmakers are debating a bill to halt new water exports from East Texas, with some proposing a moratorium on new water permits until a study on the region's aquifer is completed.
The Senate passed a version of the bill without this moratorium, which critics like Rep. Cody Harris say undermines the bill’s purpose.
The study, conducted by the Texas Water Development Board, will assess the impact of groundwater pumping.
The debate centers on balancing the rule of capture, which allows landowners to pump water from their property, with the need to protect the aquifer from potential overuse.
