The Lone Star Groundwater Conservation District was created in 2001 by the 77th Texas Legislature with a directive to conserve, protect and enhance the groundwater resources of Montgomery County, Texas. A confirmation election was held on November 6, 2001, with a 73.85% favorable ballot.
Groundwater is the water found below the land surface. It flows to the surface naturally in springs or seeps or can be tapped artificially by digging wells. 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.
Lone Star Groundwater Conservation District is the first organization in east Texas to implement the “Water IQ: Know Your Water” campaign, which was developed for the Texas Water Development Board.
