  • A Dry Tap: Water Supply Challenges with Dan Hunter and L'Oreal Stepney
    Feb 7 2025
    There are at least two ways of approaching water challenges - conserving and maximizing the water we have and strategizing solutions for water we don't have. That's especially true in the Rio Grande Valley. This week, we chat about both with the newly appointed Chairwoman of the Texas Water Development Board, L'Oreal Stepney and Assistant Texas Agriculture Commissioner, Dan Hunter. We also explore an important water treaty with Mexico that was amended last year. You can read more about it in articles from the Baker Institute for Public Policy at Rice University and from The Texas Tribune.
