||
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. |
