The Texas Alliance of Groundwater Districts (TAGD) works to promote and support sound management of groundwater based on local conditions and good science. TAGD provides educational and technical assistance to member districts and the public, serves as a resource on groundwater issues with state officials, assists members in keeping current with state law, and is a central point of contact for information on groundwater issues and practices. Members of TAGD are part of a valuable network of technical and operational expertise, helping to save districts both time and money. TAGD maintains contact with members of the private sector and various elected, local, state, and federal officials, providing them with timely information on activities and issues relevant to groundwater management. Members of TAGD also serve on various local, state, and federal agency committees and subcommittees, providing input and information on behalf of member districts. TAGD members represent 88 local groundwater conservation districts in Texas and dozens of groundwater-related consulting firms, law firms, and other businesses. TAGD urges nonmember groundwater conservation districts and entities with an interest in groundwater to become members.
