Groundwater is a major source of water for Texas. However, in many parts of the state, more is being used than is being replenished through natural means. The continuation of this practice can result in rising water costs, subsiding of land mass and a decline in the amount and quality of water.

The mission of the Lone Star Groundwater Conservation District is to manage and protect the groundwater resources of Montgomery County and to work with others to ensure a sustainable, adequate, high quality and cost effective water supply for current and future needs.
