HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
|
|
|
WHEREAS, Texas has the strongest economy in the South and |
|
|
leads the region in population growth, creating greater demand for |
|
|
water; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Water desalination, already common in the |
|
|
Caribbean, the Middle East, and elsewhere, is worth exploring as |
|
|
the state strives to meet future water needs of citizens, |
|
|
agriculture, and industry; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The future prosperity of Texas depends heavily on |
|
|
the availability of water, and it is imperative that we fully |
|
|
understand all of our options when it comes to securing this vital |
|
|
resource; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the 83rd Legislature of the State of Texas |
|
|
hereby request the lieutenant governor and the speaker of the house |
|
|
of representatives to create a joint interim committee to study |
|
|
water desalination in Texas; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the committee's proceedings and operations be |
|
|
governed by such general rules and policies for joint interim |
|
|
committees as the 83rd Legislature may adopt. |
