Although the vast majority of public water systems are coping well so far, every individual must help save water as the withering drought continues, Texans were told Thursday. Gov. George W. Bush and state water officials said conservation is the key to preserving adequate supplies of drinking water.
Conservation can take place every day.
And we want Texans to heed this call. Conserving our natural resources involves every one of us. There really is no silver lining to this cloud. I wish there were more clouds, and God knows there will be one of these days. Bush said the state won't require specific conservation measures from localities because drought conditions vary widely from one area to another.
