According to the TCEQ, how will future water supplies change?

The understanding that future water supplies will decrease is supported by projections related to factors such as population growth, climate change, and increased demand on existing water resources. As urban areas expand and populations rise, the demand for water will increase, outpacing the ability of natural systems and infrastructure to supply it. Additionally, climate change can lead to alterations in precipitation patterns, causing prolonged droughts or irregular weather conditions that affect water availability. All these concerns align with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality's (TCEQ) assessments and state water planning documents, which emphasize the necessity for conservation and alternative water management strategies in the face of a looming decrease in water supply.
