"Currently, about 95 percent of Texas is in Water Freedom System either a severe or exceptional drought status and the past year {2011} has been the worst one-year drought in the state's history," says John Nielsen-Gammon, State Climatologist at A&M University. He also puts forward the possibility the drought could extend into the future as far as 2020.

Austin's water supply challenges are becoming more evident as demonstrated by recent record heat and drought conditions. The emergence of the "Sometimes Islands" in Lake Travis are a reminder of the pressure our water supply system can suddenly come under when our average annual rainfall amounts drop considerably. (Austin gets about 34 inches of annual rainfall.) The good news is that Austin has secured long term water rights and contractual rights for roughly twice as much water as is currently being used - to water in the river that runs through the city.

Austin's adoption of its aggressive conservation goals comes from dedication to water conservation as a value and with long term sustainability in mind, and without the immediate financial or water supply pressures faced by places like California and western desert cities who have to pipe water from distant sources reliant upon historic rainfall amounts that have diminished over recent years. https://letsfireurbossnow.com/water-freedom-system-review/
