Conservation saves money and water for all concerned
After two springs of devastating floods,it's
hard to imagine the need to conserve water.
But water is not an inexhaustible commod-
ity. According to the state Water Develop-
ment Board, Texans spend more than $1
billion annually to expand water supply and 23% 26%

demand on its water supply.Local residents
