COLLEGE STATION – “Texas Water: Basic Law and Current Hot Topics” will be the subject of the July 2 webinar by the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service ecosystem science and management unit.
The webinar is a part of the Texas Range Webinar Series scheduled on the first Thursday of each month from noon to 1 p.m., said Pete Flores, webinar coordinator in Corpus Christi.
The presenter for this webinar is Tiffany Dowell Lashmet, AgriLife Extension agricultural law specialist, Amarillo.
“Water law is one of the most important and controversial topics in Texas,” Dowell Lashmet said. “With the record-setting drought and population growth, the agricultural industry will only see the competition for water become more severe.”
She said her webinar will provide a basic overview of water law in Texas. Additionally, the presentation will provide an overview of several important water cases and controversies ongoing around the state.
