The Trinity River in Texas provides water for over 40% of Texans, including the Dallas/Fort Worth and Houston metro areas. The history of the Trinity River is one of severe pollution which caused the river to be labeled “septic” back in the 1960’s. Though many advances in wastewater technology and pollution control have significantly improved water quality in the river, problems still exist. To address these issues, Trinity Waters, a landowner organization, is partnering with several agencies and corporations to promote the benefits of rural land stewardship for improving the quality and quantity of water that ultimately ends up in urban faucets. An overview of watershed protection strategies will be discussed to inform participants of how these strategies can guide these efforts.
