Ready to unpack the powerful stories of a Texas titan - the Brazos River? Listen as experts explain the Brazos River Basin's immense role in our daily lives. They'll cover everything from the river's fascinating history to all the work that goes into ensuring you have water when you turn on your faucet.
Hear invaluable insights on topics like why lake levels change, the important projects safeguarding our water, the many species that call the Brazos home, and even some tips for enjoying the water from Brazos River Authority experts.
This is your chance to understand the immense work that goes into developing, managing, and protecting the Brazos River Basin, which stretches from the Texas-New Mexico border to the Gulf. (The basin is the size of Tennessee, y’all, it’s big.)
It’s a huge part of our state’s story and we can’t wait to share it with you.
Texas is booming. Our cities are expanding, our industries are growing, and our population is soaring. But what's the one resource that fuels it all, yet we often take for granted? Water. We think we know water. We think it's just there. We might assume it's the infinite supply, but that's where the story gets much more complex. We're unraveling the invisible threads connecting your morning shower to a power plant, your garden hose to flood control, and your very existence to one of the most vital lifelines of the state. Understanding how this intricate system works impacts your daily life, your community, and the sustainability of our state. We're pulling back the curtain on the engineering marvels, the economic impacts, the environmental balancing acts, and the human stories behind the Brazos River Basin. I'm David Collinsworth, the Brazos River Authority's General Manager and CEO, and I'm inviting you to join us on this journey of Unpacking the Brazos River.
