Dr Greg Bonnen Texas State Representative

The Harris-Galveston Subsidence District (HGSD) is a special-purpose district established by the Texas Legislature in 1975 to regulate groundwater and combat subsidence in Harris and Galveston counties. Through enforcement of groundwater regulations, water conservation initiatives, and science-based planning, HGSD works to prevent subsidence and ensure future water needs are met sustainably. By collaborating with regional water providers, governmental agencies, and research institutions, HGSD aims to address the detrimental effects of land subsidence caused by excessive groundwater extraction. The District's efforts help mitigate flooding, protect infrastructure, and promote the importance of water conservation within the greater Houston-Galveston region.Generated from the website
