[QUOTE="eric, post: 170556, member: 7"] As I believe it was Caustic who stated before, I also can see water rights becoming as critical as mineral rights in the 21st century. I live in Flower Mound, and the town is really fighting with Upper Trinity Water Supply (current water supplier) over the costs to build a new lake a few hundred miles from here. It would be much cheaper for Flower Mound to just buy water from Dallas than pay for the construction of a new lake and all the hundreds of miles of supply lines. When I built my house, I hooked up to city water for my household, but the neighbors all warned me about water rates, so I had a well dug for irrigation purposes and watering the cows and such. I have a little over an acre I keep for a yard, and it would cost me a small fortune to irrigate it with city water. And with the drought we are in now, I hate to think what my water bill would be without the well. I've got my land split up into 3 pastures right now, and I am thinking about running sprinklers on the smallest pasture (5 acres) if we dont get some more rain soon. [/QUOTE]
