Save Texas' precious water. Texas Agriculture Commissioner Todd
Staples, along with other state and local leaders, brought the
message of a new statewide water conservation awareness campaign
to the Panhandle-South Plains region in Lubbock and Amarillo
during June. Texas Water Smart is a public-private coalition
that encourages households and business to prevent water waste
through common sense and conservation practices. "Our recent
historical drought and booming population point to an
unavoidable conclusion—it's time for all Texans to take a
serious look at individual water use habits and find common
sense ways to conserve," Staples said. "With the Texas Water
Smart program, I'm reminding all Texans that even a little water
saved—when multiplied by 26 million citizens—will go a long
way." A comprehensive consumer education initiative, the Texas
Water Smart program is using television, radio and print ads;
social media; and other public awareness tools to show Texans
easy and practical ways to conserve water
