  • Future Water Economic Impact on Small and Rural Communities with Lia Clark & Jason Knobloch

    Future Water Economic Impact on Small and Rural Communities with Lia Clark & Jason Knobloch
    Mar 3 2025
    The vast majority of community water systems in Texas are rural, with 10,000 or fewer residential connections. That's also where most of our population growth is headed. How can small water systems plan, update and adapt their aging infrastructure? This week, we chat with Ms. Lia Clark, Community Engagement Manager with the Water Finance Exchange, and Mr. Jason Knobloch, Deputy Executive Director with the Texas Rural Water Association, about resources and strategies for rural water and small communities.

    What happens if the water goes out at a hospital? What if the tap dries up during a broader crisis, like a hurricane or a winter storm? With thoughtful planning and careful training, plus cooperation and coordination between sectors, some of those risks can be reduced. This week, we chat with Mike Mastrangelo, Emergency Management and Public Health Expert, and Elston Johnson, president and owner of Elston Johnson & Associates, about water interdependencies and healthcare. Here are articles about a chemical spill in South Korea mentioned by one of our guests and a link to a previous episode on water supply challenges after a hurricane.

  • A Dry Tap: Water Supply Challenges with Dan Hunter and L'Oreal Stepney

    A Dry Tap: Water Supply Challenges with Dan Hunter and L'Oreal Stepney
    Feb 7 2025
    There are at least two ways of approaching water challenges - conserving and maximizing the water we have and strategizing solutions for water we don't have. That's especially true in the Rio Grande Valley. This week, we chat about both with the newly appointed Chairwoman of the Texas Water Development Board, L'Oreal Stepney and Assistant Texas Agriculture Commissioner, Dan Hunter. We also explore an important water treaty with Mexico that was amended last year. You can read more about it in articles from the Baker Institute for Public Policy at Rice University and from The Texas Tribune.
