Introducing the TExas Waterchat Podcast & Media Project
Texas is the perfect place to start a national conversation to address the water challenges facing us all. It is an ecosystem where water policy, environmental ingenuity, and cultural heritage collide in dramatic fashion.
Texas WaterChat gives everyone a backstage pass to the most fascinating conversations about what makes Texas tick, from its iconic rivers to the delicate balancing act of keeping clean water flowing to all communities and all sectors.
We’re digging into the stories, voices, and innovations that bring these issues to life. We want to connect the dots: between the farmers in West Texas adapting to drought, the engineers dreaming up high-tech aquifer recharge systems, and the grassroots advocates fighting for clean water access in underserved communities.
And hey, this isn’t a doom-and-gloom series. It’s about possibility. Every conversation, every episode, every post will highlight creative solutions and collaborations that are shaping Texas' future—plus some good-natured debates and “only-in-Texas” moments that make it all worth tuning into.
So whether you’re a curious listener, a lifelong Texan, or just someone who’s fascinated by how water runs the world, this project promises one thing:
you’ll come away informed, inspired, and ready to join the conversation.
Let’s make waves together. 🌊
