CARD: Water Crisis shows trouble ahead
Submitted by Wimberley1 on
CARD Steering Committee
Yes, there is trouble ahead my friend, right here in River City – or as we fondly know it, Wimberley, Woodcreek and western Hays County. The trouble is a coming shortage of water.
So water will be in the spotlight Sept. 11, when Citizens Alliance for Responsible Development (CARD) hosts “Water Crisis: Time to Get Serious!,” a free community meeting at the Wimberley Community Center.
Here in the Hill Country, water is lifeblood, not only for our bodies but for our community. The Blanco River, Cypress Creek and countless flowing springs are primary reasons a community started here in the late 1840s has flourished for more than 160 years. Water nourishes our wildlife, grasses and trees, supports our businesses and agriculture, provides recreation and attracts tourists who boost our economy. Water also makes our Hill Country a charming place to live.
