Through the Water Quality Education and Planning for North Central Texas project, the Texas Water Resources Institute and Texas AgriLife Extension Service are collaborating with Tarrant Regional Water District (TRWD), Texas A&M Spatial Sciences Laboratory and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to conduct watershed planning, educational programs and water modeling to ensure high quality water for Tarrant County and surrounding counties. This program is helping to slow or reverse the decline in lake water quality and provide a prototype for other regions of the state and nation.
