BRWM

In October, 1998 and July, 2002, record rainfall deluged the San Antonio area, flooding the city and causing damages in excess of $1 billion. Following these two flood events, government leaders united in an effort to provide improved flood control, storm water management and water quality. The Bexar County Commissioners Court, the City of San Antonio and the San Antonio River Authority (SARA) entered an agreement forming a virtual flood control district designated as the Bexar Regional Watershed Management (BRWM) partnership. Since the initial formation of the partnership, 20 suburban cities have joined to expand the collaboration and help address flood issues throughout Bexar County.
