How can Texas safeguard its $2.5 trillion economy against the devastating impacts of future droughts? A new report by Gabriel Collins, Baker Botts Fellow at Rice University's Baker Institute for Public Policy, and Texas 2036 reveals the vital role of strategic investments in water infrastructure. Key findings include: ?? $40 billion/year: Potential economic damage to large cities during a severe drought. ?? $15 billion/year: Agricultural and livestock losses statewide from drought impacts. ?? $2 billion/year: Revenue lost from utility system leaks alone. This research underscores the urgent need for smart, targeted investments in water to protect the economy and create a sustainable future for Texas.
