The Texas Water Development Board has issued the 2017 State Water Plan, which predicts the demands on the state's water supply from now through 2017. It also specifies water management strategies to accommodate the state's predicted enormous population growth. The 2017 plan concludes that Texas faces significant water shortages over the next 50 years if steps are not taken to conserve and develop additional water supplies.
