I think Texas should pass water conservation measures since it will not be hard for us to run out of fresh water. With the water conservation plans it helps with the waste of water such as when people leave the sink running while brushing your teeth, or just standing underneath the hot water after your done showering. We need some water restrictions so years down the road we do not run out of fresh water. There are 19 cities in the state of Texas right now that have water conservation programs to save on the use of water Austin being one of them. I think more cities should get involved with the conservation of water. Water is one of the most important things on earth and something humans cannot live without. With these cities participating more than 30 percent of Texas is considered out of a drought. The conservative water programs across the state are helping us overcome the 48 percent of Texas that is in either a small or severe drought. We cannot let this resource that we so desperately need become scarce to the population. In 1996 EAA v. Day happened when a rancher asked to pump more water for his farm then the EAA would allow. Which made the question come in to play. Do the land owners own the water they live on top of? Personally I don't think anyone should be able to own an underground water aquifer with there being so much fresh water in it the state should regulate it usage. So in all I do think Texas should enforce water conservation rules across the state to simply keep us out of a drought.
