The Texas Water Resources Institute, TWRI, invites community members, landowners and anyone with an interest in local water quality to attend the fifth public meeting for the Davidson Creek Watershed Protection Plan, WPP. Presenters will share hot spots for potential bacteria pollution, followed by a panel discussion featuring experts in watershed management and conservation practices.
The meeting will be Oct. 21 at noon at the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service office for Burleson County, 1516 Farm-to-Market Road 166, Caldwell. This is a new location for the AgriLife Extension office.
Meeting details
The event is hosted by the Davidson Creek Watershed Partnership in collaboration with Burleson County AgriLife Extension and aims to share critical location-based analysis that supports the ongoing development of the WPP.
Attendees will learn how and where hot spots were located for potential bacteria loading across the watershed. The findings will help prioritize areas for targeted conservation efforts and Best Management Practices (BMPs). Attendees will also have the opportunity to ask questions from panel of experts on implementing BMPs across central Texas to improve water quality.
“Public input is strongly encouraged,” said Amanda Tague, TWRI research specialist with Texas A&M AgriLife Research, Bryan-College Station. “Your voice and involvement are critical to the success of this plan.”
There is no requirement for participants to have attended prior meetings, and anyone interested can catch up by reviewing notes and presentations from previous meetings at davidson.twri.tamu.edu/meetings/.
Funding for developing the Davidson Creek WPP is provided by the Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board through the State Nonpoint Source Grant Program. TWRI is an AgriLife Research unit that combines expertise across The Texas A&M University System.
