Oh, look at you! You’re a READER!

By the way, that comment I made in the last thread is absolutely true. The Railroad Commission made sure that any groundwater used in in oil and gas production wasn’t regulated under the Texas Water Code. They can suck as much water out of the ground as they need and it can’t be regulated by any Groundwater Conservation District in the State. Any town in the Permian Basin is screwed, blued, and tattooed. Expect water refugees to be moving to Weatherford and Austin in the near future because their wells will be as dry as a bone in the next five years.

Or move further north, beyond Oklahoma and Kansas, because they’re sucking their aquifer dry also. I suppose we better get ready for a bunch of north Texans here… .
