Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Water Management in the '90s: A Time for Innovation

Abstract:

Through conjunctive use of groundwater and surface water, the Upper Guadalupe River Authority (UGRA) has designed a water supply system for the City of Kerrville, Texas that saves 80 percent of the original project cost and provides for a 73 percent reduction to impacts on flows in the Guadalupe River while avoiding Federal permitting. In spite of providing an innovative solution to an age-old problem, with minimal environmental impact, opposition to the project threatens it's implementation.
