TYLER — The League of Women Voters invites area residents to a free water and water rights seminar today in Tyler, featuring Texas environmental writer Joe Nick Patoski. Spokespeople say the purpose is to learn how Texas water is managed — and to discuss whether new laws and regulations are needed to keep it flowing in ways that protect quality of life. <\/p>\n
According to League materials, Patoski will talk about Texas\u2019s rather unique water law and the impact it wields on the future water supply. He’ll be joined by panelists Greg Morgan of Tyler Water Utilities and Glenda Kindle of the East Texas Regional Water Planning Group. Among the questions to be addressed: Who owns Texas water? Have water rights ignited true wars in the West? Will East Texas be next? Is Texas water just a commodity for sale to the highest bidder? It all happens this evening at 7:00 in the fellowship hall of First Christian Church, 4202 South Broadway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
