think+water: Conserving water in citrus groves, black outages matter, and a massive load of mercury for Galveston Bay

This month we explore academic articles on the topics of evaluating citrus grove-floor management strategies for water use efficiency and conservation in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, examining social disparities in Texas after Winter Storm Uri, and quantifying the sediment and mercury delivered to Galveston Bay from Hurricane Harvey.

think+water: Long-term changes in Lavaca Bay, Uri and post-traumatic stress, and Texan perceptions of reuse and desalination

This month we explore academic articles on the topics of identifying natural environmental stressors that may account for the long-term decline of ecosystem health, examining winter storm-associated post-traumatic stress in eight Texas metro areas, and analyzing public perceptions of desalination and water reuse in Texas.

think+water: A sinking donut around Houston, water loss in Texas, and woody waters

This month we explore academic articles on the topics of tracking recent subsidence rates using interferometry in the greater Houston area, analyzing the extent of water loss in Texas public water systems and quantifying how much water could be saved with cost-effective approaches, and exploring ecohydrological changes that occurred following woody plant encroachment through six case studies.

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.
