Why:
Texas Water Code Chapter 36 requires groundwater conservation districts to conduct joint planning within groundwater management areas. The groundwater conservation districts must meet at least annually to review groundwater management plans, accomplishments of the management area, and proposals to adopt new or amend existing desired future conditions for the relevant aquifers within the management area. The Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) will calculate modeled available groundwater values based on the desired future conditions, which will be used for regional water planning, groundwater conservation district management plans, and permitting groundwater withdrawals.

Who:
Groundwater Management Area 11 consists of the following groundwater conservation districts: Neches and Trinity Valleys GCD, Panola County GCD, Pineywoods GCD, and Rusk County GCD.
