About this listen

There is a brackish aquifer water desal plant planned for South Texas. The news about this topic went out before planning was complete. Directors are still addressing the public's concerns about managing the super-saline discharge, as well as, studying their options for management. Brune and STWA Director John Marez discuss the longstanding technology available to quell these concerns. Despite having waste water technology in place for decades the general public is woefully ignorant, as well as, distrusting. It will be the STWA's job to implement good practices, and to keep the public advised into perpetuity. Currently, freshwater to Kingsville comes from Corpus Christi. Corpus also gets water from Lake Texana, and that Lake may be supplemented by LCRA Colorado River water from Garwood, Texas. Marez believes desalinating the brackish aquifer water will cost the consumers less, and save freshwater for Texas.
