This month in law+water, we explore a multi-billion-dollar PFAS contamination settlement, new Texas legislation that tightens groundwater availability requirements for developers, and how the Lost Pines Groundwater Conservation District’s Stakeholder Committee could provide a model for other groundwater conservation districts throughout the state.

This month we explore issues on the topics of whether New Mexico must limit farmers from pumping groundwater to ensure the availability of Rio Grande flows for Texas and Mexico, how the EPA may implement its Clean Power Plan, and a review of a case where plaintiffs sought damages based on claims that the San Jacinto River Authority’s release of water from Lake Conroe caused damage to their properties.
