Water Quality in Texas

"Man is a complex animal; he makes deserts bloom and lakes die."
Gil Stern

 

In Texas, human activity has affected water quality in all 15 river basins, in the eight coastal basins where rivers drain into the Gulf of Mexico, and in all major aquifers, including some that are sources of drinking water. This chapter examines five aspects of water quality:

1. Surface Water Quality
2. Causes and Sources of Surface Water Pollution
3. Ground Water Quality
4. Drinking Water Quality
5. Coastal Resources and Water Quality
