Surface water conversion progresses in Cy-Fair
The Texas Legislature created the Harris-Galveston Subsidence District in 1975 to help stop subsidence by controlling the use of groundwater. Starting in 2003, the district mandated the NHCRWA, the WHCRWA and other entities reach at least 30%, 60% and 80% surface water reliance in 2010, 2025 and 2035, respectively.
