think+water: Groundwater for estuaries, injecting into the Delaware Basin, and the surface-water disposal of produced water from the Carrizo-Wilcox

This month we explore academic articles on the topics of assessing how much groundwater is discharging into estuaries along the Texas Coast, developing a model to determine impacts of injecting large volumes of water produced from oil and gas wells through disposal wells in the Delaware Basin, and evaluating groundwater conservation practices in association with oil and gas production from the surrounding areas of the Carrizo-Wilcox formation in Texas.

climate+water: The urban and rural land climate connection

Farmers, ranchers, and landowners increasingly experience the impacts of climate change as severe storms, floods, drought, and wildfire damage their operations and impact their livelihoods. Hosts Robert Mace and Carrie Thompson speak with Kristy Oates, State Conservationist for the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS), about working with private landowners to develop conservation (and climate) solutions that support rural Texans.
