Water Quality Successes And Resources
Successes
- Over 4,000 monitors that measure water quality are deployed throughout Texas.
- Over 29,000 acres of coastal habitat in Galveston Bay have been created, protected, restored, and/or enhanced.
- More than 2,400 stream miles, 28,000 reservoir acres, and 220 estuary square miles are being restored by stakeholders across Texas.
- Buck Creek was able to be removed from the federal list of impaired water bodies after a collaboration among governmental agencies and local landowners decreased bacterial contamination and improved water quality in the watershed.
- Since 2000, TCEQ’s Galveston Bay Estuary Program and its partners created, protected, restored, or enhanced over 29,000 acres of coastal wetlands.
