How can water users not located on the coast benefit from desalinated seawater?
Development of seawater desalination along the Texas Gulf Coast will help relieve stress on existing conventional surface water and groundwater supply sources in coastal areas which in turn could make these resources available to water users located away from the coast. In this context, seawater desalination can indirectly benefit people living hundreds of miles away from the coastline. 5. Of the three projects that TWDB recommended for future studies (Brownsville, Corpus Christi and Freeport), would the TWDB select one to recommend to the Governor, based on the results of the feasibility studies? In 2003, TWDB funded $1.5 million for feasibility studies to assess the technical viability of these three proposed projects. These studies concluded that all three proposed projects were technically feasible and outlined the financial requirements necessary to implement the projects. In 2004, TWDB considered these conclusions and recommended that the state continue advancing toward implement
