As a retired engineer in Dallas I am very interested in these schemes to rob other Texas areas to satisfy the desires of water users in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Now, your article "Deep in the Heart of Texas" states the proposal to rob the Amarillo-Lubbock area of its groundwater (ENR 2/16 p. 14). The water table there has been lowering due to necessary farm irrigation.
The state of Texas needs these rural areas as well as their municipal areas. A way must be found to supply the municipalities with their necessary water without further disturbing our rural areas.
