CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, Texas has the strongest economy in the South and
leads the region in population growth, creating greater demand for
water; and
WHEREAS, Seawater desalination, already common in the
Caribbean, the Middle East, and elsewhere, is worth exploring as
the state strives to meet future water needs of citizens,
agriculture, and industry; and
WHEREAS, The future prosperity of Texas depends heavily on
the availability of water, and it is imperative that we fully
understand all of our options when it comes to securing this vital
resource; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the 84th Legislature of the State of Texas
hereby request the lieutenant governor and the speaker of the house
of representatives to create a joint interim committee to study
seawater desalination on the Texas coast; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That the committee's proceedings and operations be
governed by such general rules and policies for joint interim
committees as the 84th Legislature may adopt.
