Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller announced the creation of the Office of Water within the Texas Department Agriculture (TDA) to address critical water issues across the state. TDA will work with stakeholders to address critical water needs for all citizens, not just specific constituencies. Key stakeholders in this issue include farmers, ranchers, businesses, water districts, schools, river authorities, hospitals, cities, researchers and other state entities. Together, these groups will work on water issues.
With the creation of the Office of Water, TDA continues to work towards making water issues a top priority in Texas.
