An increasing population and various land changes continue to place pressure on water resources and the ability to find a balance between water and wildlife management. To help meet these challenges, Wisconsin-based Sand County Foundation is working with Texas-based Trinity Waters, formerly the Trinity Basin Conservation Foundation, as the implementing partner for the new Water As A CropTM project being piloted in Mill Creek in the Trinity River basin.
Located in Navarro County between the Dallas/ Fort Worth and Houston metropolitan areas, Mill Creek flows into the Richland-Chambers Reservoir, a major source of water for the D/FW metroplex. The Water As A CropTM project seeks to improve wildlife habitat and water quality by providing financial incentives to landowners that implement conservation practices on their land.
