Jennifer Walker, director for the Texas Coast and Water program with the National Wildlife Federation, said she thinks the split will change.
“I don’t think it’s gonna be 80/20… I would prefer no split,” Walker said. “I don’t think that’s realistic. But we have to reject this false narrative that only projects labeled as ‘new supply’ can secure our water future.”
Walker and other water experts said negotiations over the split are ongoing.
“It’s gotten real quiet,” she said. “It does make me nervous. Time is running out.”
