Editor's Note: The Texas Hill Country Conservation Network has created The Hill Country Land, Water, Sky and Natural Infrastructure Plan to protect natural resources in this area. This conservation series seeks to illuminate aspects of the plan, as well as other resource protection plans, looking at best management practices. This is the third part in the series.

The Texas Hill Country Conservation Network website, stated that the Texas Hill Country is composed of 18 central Texas counties and 11 million acres; the booming population growth paired with rapid development, drought, the overuse of groundwater and changing climate patterns are impacting natural resources in this area.
