Drought Contingency & Water Conservation

Texas Water Development Board (2022) State Water Plan:
Texas’ population is projected to increase by more than 70 percent during the planning horizon, from 29.7 million in 2020 to nearly 51.5 million in 2070. Over 60 percent of all the statewide population growth between 2020 and 2070 is projected to occur within Regions C, H, and L. Statewide water demand is projected to increase by approximately 9 percent, from 17.7 million acre-feet per year in 2020 to 19.2 million acre-feet per year in 2070. This is a smaller magnitude increase as compared to the 2017 State Water Plan, primarily due to revised methodologies for the irrigation, manufacturing, and steam-electric power generation sectors of water use. Irrigation is the largest water demand category in each planning decade through 2050, but municipal demand is projected to surpass irrigation demand by 2060. Population and water demand projections by region, county, and water user group can be explored through the dashboard at https://www.twdb.texas.gov/waterplanning/data/dashboard/index.asp
