-continued on page 3... 1975Governor Dolph Briscoe met Janu-
ary 8 with the Water Resource
Conservation and Development Task
Force and announced his endorsement
of the Task Force's proposed "Short-
Range Program for the Conservation
and Development of Texas Water Re-
sources", submitted to him April 16,

asked the Task Force to continue serv-
ing as it has since December, 1973.
1974 Decline
Maps Released
The 1974 cost-in-water depletion,
income-tax-allowance, decline maps
and water depletion information for
individual land parcels are now avail-
able at the District's Lubbock office,
1628 15th Street.
Maps are being furnished this year
for Armstrong, Cochran, Crosby, Deaf
Smith, Hale, Hockley, Lubbock, Lynn,
Potter and Randall Counties. Price per
map will remain $7.50.
Computerized decline data will be
available for Bailey, Castro, Floyd,
Lamb and Parmer Counties at the cost
of $5 per parcel.
Information necessary to determine
the decline for the above-mentioned
counties is as follows: 1) taxpayer's
agent's name and address, 2) land-
owner's name, address and social
security number, 3) account number
and 4) the legal description of the land.Governor Briscoe again re-empha-
sized the need for importation of water
from outside the State. (See reproduc-
tion of his remarks on page 2.) The
plan calls for legislation which would
authorize the Governor to negotiate
with other states to acquire water
and to "direct implementing actions
by pertinent agencies or political sub-
divisions of the State to take advan-
tage of any opportunities which may
materialize as a result of his discus-
sions with other Governors".
According to the plan reviewed and
endorsed by the Governor, its purpose
was to set forth in outline form the
short-range plan and to "lay a basis
for steps which must be taken in the
development of the long-range pro-
gram for conservation and develop-
ment of Texas' water resources".
Among its many charges, the Task
Force, at the Governor's direction, will
undertake the development of recom-
mendations with regard to the follow-
ing:
1) Actions needed to obtain and
maintain appropriate Federal
Government participation in
water resource conservation and
development in Texas.
2) Means of assuring efficient use
of the State's available water re-
sources, including multiple use
of water and elimination or con-
trol of wasteful practices and
conditions.
3) Effective control of water pollu--
