Introduction
In 1997, the 75th Texas Legislature passed Senate Bill One, legislation designed to address Texas water
issues. Senate Bill One put in place a grass-roots regional process to plan for the future water needs of all
Texans. To implement this process, the Texas Water Development Board created 16 regional water
planning groups across the state and established regulations governing regional planning efforts. The
results of the first round of the Senate Bill One planning effort for Region C can be found in the 2001
Region C Water Plan (1). The regional plans from each of the 16 regions were compiled by the Texas Water
Development Board into the State Water Plan, Water for Texas - 2002.
In 2001 and 2007, the Texas Legislature passed Senate Bill Two and Senate Bill Three, respectively. These
bills included the funding mechanisms to continue the regional water planning effort, which is to be
updated every five years. Senate Bill Two provided the funding for the first update to the regional water
plans which produced the 2006 Region C Water Plan (2). Senate Bill Three provided the funding for the
2011 update to the regional water plans, including the 2011 Region C Water Plan (3.
This report gives the results of the latest (4th) round of planning for Region C. Figure 1.1 is a map of Region
C, which covers all or part of 16 counties in North Central Texas. As Figure 1.1 shows, Region C includes all
of Collin, Cooke, Dallas, Denton, Ellis, Fannin, Freestone, Grayson, Jack, Kaufman, Navarro, Parker,
Rockwall, Tarrant, and Wise Counties and the part of Henderson County that is in the Trinity Basin. The
area covered by Region C is the same as in the first three rounds of Senate Bill One planning.
The regional water planning groups created pursuant to Senate Bill One are in charge of the regional
planning process. Each regional planning group includes representatives of 12 designated interest groups.
Table 1.1 shows the members of the Region C water planning group and the interests they represent. The
Region C Water Planning Group hired a team of consultants to conduct technical analyses and prepare
the regional water plan under the supervision of the planning group. The consulting team for Region C
included Freese and Nichols, Inc., Alan Plummer Associates, Inc., CP&Y, Inc., and Cooksey
Communications, Inc.
