In this podcast, Larry interviews two leading analysts and advocates for a data driven, comprehensive approach to water policy in Texas regarding the current and future water crisis in Texas and what we can do about it.

Proposition 6, which is one of the Amendments, will set up the Texas Water Fund with an initial contribution of $ 1 billion dollars from the State of Texas.
