The Texas Water Journal has published a special issue, Volume 17, Number 2, with seven extended abstracts.
In May 2025, the Texas Water Research Network, led by the Environmental Science Institute at The University of Texas at Austin, held its 12th meeting. For the first time, presenters were invited to submit extended abstracts associated with their contributions to the Texas Water Journal.
Seven extended abstracts were submitted and underwent a blind peer-review process before being included in this special issue:
- Predicting Future Drought Shifts in the Cypress Creek Watershed Using CMIP6 Projections
N.S. Abeysingha and Ram L. Ray - Integrating Geospatial Data with Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis for Flood Susceptibility Assessment in Texas, USA
Birhan Tikuye and Ram L. Ray - Abrupt Shifts in Precipitation Recorded by Bald Cypress (Taxodium distichum) False Rings
Jose Abella-Gutiérrez, Bryan A. Black, and Jay L. Banner - Quantifying Surface Water Quality under Environmental Change Scenarios in the Bosque River Watershed, Central Texas, United States
Ram L. Ray and Gebrekidan W. Tefera - Water-Energy-CO₂ Nexus for Turfgrass Irrigation in the Four Urban-Dominated Counties of Texas
Anwar Adem, Ripendra Awal, Ali Fares, Anoop Valiya Veettil, Atikur Rahman, and Abdul Choudhury - Integrating Remote Sensing and Weather Data with Machine Learning to Assess Drought Effects on Climate Divisions in Texas

The journal is an online, peer-reviewed journal published by the nonprofit, the Texas Water Journal, in cooperation with the Texas Water Resources Institute, a unit of Texas A&M AgriLife Research that brings together expertise from across the Texas A&M University System; the Bureau of Economic Geology in the Jackson School of Geosciences at The University of Texas at Austin; and the Water and the Environment Research Center in the Department of Civil, Environmental and Construction Engineering at Texas Tech University. The journal publishes papers as they are completed.
It is devoted to the timely consideration of Texas water resources management, research and policy issues from a multidisciplinary perspective that integrates science, engineering, law, planning and other disciplines. It also provides updates on key state legislation and policy changes by Texas administrative agencies.
