New federal funds to help fuel climate change research, and an action plan to protect Texas water, was unveiled at the Meadows Center alongside the banks of Spring Lake. Rep. Lloyd Doggett joined Robert Mace, Executive Director and Chief Water Policy Officer, at the Meadows Center on Monday making the announcement.
“I am pleased to announce today that I’ve secured a $2 million federal appropriation for the important research that is done here by Dr. Mace and his team at the Meadows Center,” Doggett said. “This is directed specifically at the impact of climate change on Texas surface water and groundwater and provides mapping and related materials which our local leaders can use to prepare for and mitigate the harm of climate change to our water resources.”
Doggett emphasized it was not a federal grant. It is a specific appropriation that he requested because of the urgency of our addressing the climate crisis.
