The Trinity River provides water to over 40% of Texans, particularly in the Dallas/Fort Worth and Houston metropolitan areas. While 80% of the water used in the Trinity River basin is by cities, 75% of the land is rural, demonstrating the impact that rural land stewardship has on urban water resources. By providing science-based information to landowners on ways to manage their land, the quality and quantity of water reaching the river will be improved along with the productivity of landowners’ agricultural and wildlife operations. These publications provide facts about the Trinity River basin and guidelines for specific habitats within the basin.
