Book excerpt: The Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC), working with the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD), is charged with identifying priority ground-water management areas (PGMAs) - areas in the State that are experiencing, or are expected to experience in the future, critical ground-water problems. The purpose of the PGMA program is to assist local and regional interests to address ground-water management issues; including quantity and quality of surface water and groundwater, contamination issues, and land subsidence. Senate Bill 1 (75th legislature, 1997) placed priority on the completion of pending PGMA studies that were called for by House Bill 2 (69th Legislature) in 1985. The TNRCC and TWDB identified El Paso County in west Texas for a PGMA study in 1990. The study was initiated in 1990 with TNRCC requesting a ground-water resource and availability study from TWDB. The TWDB completed the report Evaluation of Ground-water Resources in El Paso County, Texas (TWDB Report No. 324, Ashworth) in March of 1990.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Groundwater represents an important supply source for municipal and irrigation uses in Far West Texas. The City of El Paso receives about 50 percent of its municipal water supply from surface water and 50 percent from local groundwater. Groundwater pumping in El Paso is from the Hueco Bolson and the Mesilla Bolson. Historic groundwater pumping in the Texas portion of the Mesilla Bolson has not resulted in significant changes in groundwater levels or groundwater quality in existing wells. Historic pumping in the Hueco Bolson has resulted in lowered groundwater levels and brackish groundwater intrusion. The groundwater level declines have resulted in the intrusion of brackish groundwater into areas that historically pumped fresh groundwater. A 1979 assessment concluded that El Paso would deplete fresh groundwater in the Hueco Bolson by 2030 if groundwater pumping continued to increase. Partly as a result of the 1979 assessment, El Paso reduced its groundwater pumping from the Hueco Bolson by increasing surface water diversions from the Rio Grande, increasing conservation efforts, and increasing reclaimed water use. As a result, groundwater levels in many parts of the Hueco Bolson have stabilized. Brackish groundwater intrusion remains an issue, and is being addressed with a brackish groundwater desalination plant, currently under construction. The new wells and existing wells that will supply this desalination plant will also assist in the management of brackish groundwater intrusion by intercepting the brackish groundwater before it can flow towards existing fresh groundwater wells. The 2006 Far West Texas Regional Water Plan contemplates a groundwater transfer project to meet increasing demands in El Paso County beginning about 2030, mostly from the Dell City area in Hudspeth County, Texas. Groundwater management in the Dell City area is governed by a groundwater conservation district that has established limits on groundwater pumping based on existing and historic uses. Groundwater pumping for irrigation began in the Dell City area in 1948, and groundwater levels have been essentially stable for since the 1980s. Future planning for a groundwater transfer project will require a detailed understanding of the hydrogeology of the groundwater in the Dell City area.

Book excerpt: The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) has completed a source water assessment for El Paso County as required by the 1996 Safe Drinking Water Act amendments and in accordance with Colorado's Source Water Assessment and Protection (SWAP) program. The purpose of this assessment is to analyze the potential susceptibility of each public drinking water source to contamination, and to supply pertinent information so that decision-makers voluntarily can develop and implement appropriate preventive measures to protect these water sources. The Safe Drinking Water Act requires that the public water system and its consumers be informed of the assessment results.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1985, the Sixty-ninth Texas Legislature enacted House Bill 2, which directed the State water agencies to identify critical ground-water areas within the State of Texas, conduct studies of those areas, and submit the findings along with recommendations on whether a ground-water conservation district should be established in the study area. One area so identifed for study is in Cameron, Hidalgo, Starr, and Willacy Counties, collectively known as the Lower Rio Grande Valley.
