Lonestar Groundwater Conservation District

The Lone Star Groundwater Conservation District (Lone Star Water) helps Montgomery County meet its most critical water challenge – finding the water to grow without continuing to “deficit-pump” the Gulf Coast Aquifer. The county will double again in population by 2040 and it must reduce current groundwater use by 30 percent because use exceeds the recharge of the aquifer – what Lone Star Water calls deficit-pumping. Created by the Legislature and an overwhelming majority of county voters

Lone Star Water is the area’s best advocate of water conservation because the water you don’t need is the least expensive water you’ll ever buy. It’s also the easiest and fastest way to reduce the deficit-pumping of the Gulf Coast Aquifer in Montgomery County. Lone Star Water supports water conservation education for children and water use reduction in restaurants. Lone Star Water also convenes dozens of the water professionals throughout the area as the Gulf Coast/Montgomery County
