Talking Points:
Texas is growing fast — We’ll have 55+ million residents by 2070 and current water supplies can’t keep up.
The Texas Water Backbone provides a solution — A 420-mile pipeline from Gulf Coast desalination to DFW, delivering 500,000 acre-feet per year of drought-proof water.
This doesn’t take water from East Texas — Unlike controversial reservoir projects, the Backbone uses ocean water that doesn’t belong to anyone.
Texas can lead the nation — We have the opportunity to pioneer next-generation water infrastructure.
Please support legislation to create the Texas Backbone Authority and fund this critical infrastructure.
Sample message:
Dear [Representative/Senator Name],
As a Texas resident concerned about our state’s water future, I urge you to support the Texas Water Backbone initiative.
With Texas projected to grow from 29.7 million to over 55 million residents by 2070, we need drought-proof water infrastructure. The Texas Water Backbone—a 420-mile pipeline from Gulf Coast desalination to DFW—can deliver 500,000 acre-feet per year without taking water from East Texas.
Please support legislation to create the Texas Backbone Authority and fund this essential infrastructure for our state’s future.
Thank you for your service to Texas.
[Your Name] [Your City]
