Executive Summary

Population and Water Demand Projections
Population and water demand projections lay the foundation for determining water needs for
each county over the planning horizon. The TWDB provided county population projections
based on projections developed by the Texas State Data Center and the Office of the State
Demographer. The draft TWDB county-level population projections were revised by Region 0
based on local feedback, scaling where necessary to keep the total regional population
unchanged. Population projections were calculated for 71 water user groups (WUGs), all of
which are either city or County-other (urban areas with a population of less than 500) WUGs.
There are 79 systems within the region's County-other category.
Region 0 also includes four wholesale water providers (WWP):
" Canadian River Municipal Water Authority (CRMWA)
" City of Lubbock
" Mackenzie Municipal Water Authority
" White River Municipal Water District
The attached WUG Category Summary contains the population and water demand projections
by WUG category for Region O. By 2070, it is projected that the population of Region 0 will
increase by 33 percent to 801,719, accounting for 1.6 percent of the state's population.
In regional water planning, water use is accounted for in the following WUG categories:
municipal, industrial (further divided into manufacturing, mining, or steam-electric), irrigation, or
livestock. The projected changes in water demand by WUG category for Region 0 over the
50-year planning period are:
" Municipal demand will increase by 40 percent.
" Manufacturing demand in 14 counties will increase by 26 percent.
" Mining demand will decrease by 42 percent.
" Steam-electric power demand in 4 counties will increase by 127 percent.
