Groundwater Conservation District are commemorating the 50th 
anniversary of the organization's protection and preservation of 
groundwater resources and reservoirs; and
	WHEREAS, For half a century, the North Plains Groundwater 
Conservation District has adopted and enforced regulations aimed at 
minimizing the depletion of reservoirs and aquifers, the 
interference between wells, and the reduction of artesian pressure; 
the organization also strives to prevent waste or pollution of 
groundwater and to promote equitable use and management of 
resources in compliance with ecological and socioeconomic systems 
unique to the district; and

acts of the state's Board of Water Engineers, approving the 
establishment of the North Plains Ground Water Conservation 
District, north of the Canadian River; the district's original 
region included Sherman, Hansford, and Ochiltree Counties, and 
parts of Hartley, Moore, and Hutchinson Counties; eventually 
Lipscomb County and portions of Dallam County were annexed into the 
district; and
	WHEREAS, Under the current leadership of president David 
Moore, the district achieves its goals through rules, education 
programs, district services, and the mutual cooperation of local, 
state, and federal agencies; from its main office in Dumas, the 
organization issues water well permits, collects groundwater 
information, performs water quality analyses, and provides well 
system tests; and
	WHEREAS, Throughout its history, the staff of the North 
Plains Groundwater Conservation District have provided excellent 
management of groundwater supplies and have worked tirelessly to 
ensure that an abundant supply of groundwater will be available for 
future generations; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature hereby honor the North Plains Groundwater Conservation 
District on the occasion of its 50th anniversary and extend to its 
directors and staff sincere best wishes for continued success; and, 
be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for the district as an expression of high regard by the 
Texas House of Representatives.
