This slide presentation outlines a project by the Brazos River Authority to blend water sources to increase water supply to meet the population growth in the Brazos River area of Texas. Future water supply needs are outlined, along with planning activities specific to groundwater and conjunctive use, with the outcome being the Williamson County Water Supply Plan. Goals of the plan include: develop a regional water supply system to
meet current and long-term water needs for
Williamson County; and,
develop a "preferred" method to procure
groundwater as a future component of the
Authority's water supply system. Phase 1 summary included:
maximizing use of existing infrastructure and
water supply to defer early water needs;
includes utilization of additional available water
from Lake Stillhouse Hollow;
new authority WWCRWTP;
expansion of authority EWCRWTP (formerly
Taylor WTP); and,
meets needs through next 20 to 30 years. Groundwater and conjunctive use was the
primary focus of this study and involved:
Carrizo-Wilcox Aquifer Groundwater;
Supplement Lake Granger Supply;
resulted in ability to withdraw additional
Lake Granger water = CONJUNCTIVE
USE. Phase 2 summary included:
Lake Granger Conjunctive Use;
expanded SW and GW treatment at Authority
EWCRWTP by 82.1 MGD (Four Phases);
amount of treated water made available:
45,985 acft/yr; and,
meets demands through 2050. Includes tables.
