The Texas Water Association's federal positions are based on a set of overarching principles that guide our outreach on federal water resources legislation and policy:

1) State Primacy over Water Resources

2) Clear, Consistent, Predictable, and Economical Federal Regulation

3) Partnership and Shared Investment in Federal Policy Development and Initiatives

4) Science, Transparency, and Public Participation

5) Intergovernmental Coordination with States, Tribes, and Local Project Sponsors
