5.2.2 County Summaries

Water management strategies recommended for implementation to meet projected needs or shortages in each of the 21 counties within the South Central Texas Region are summarized in Tables 5.2-2 through 5.2-22 and Figures 5.2-5 through 5.2-25. These tables and figures illustrate the phased implementation of water management strategies at the county level. Counties are presented in alphabetical order from Atascosa County to Zavala County. The counties having the greatest municipal, industrial, steam-electric, and mining needs and, hence, the greatest quantities of new water supply are Bexar, Comal, Hays, and Guadalupe. Particular attention to the notes at the base of each county table is encouraged. More detailed information regarding allocation of new water supplies to specific cities and other water user groups within each county may be found in Section 5.3.
