Happy Holidays!
Wishing you and yours a happy holiday from the Trinity River Authority!
What a great week celebrating #EarthDay!
Did you know the #trinityriver is home to the American alligator?
Earth Day Texas is underway! Come learn about what you can do to prevent pollution and conserve our water resources. You can find us in the Centennial Building in booths 5312 and 5313! We will be here from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. today through Sunday. #EarthX
In collaboration with TPWD, #OfficialTRA participated in an annual fish procurement on April 10 held at the #LivingstonDam. Watch to learn more.
And that's a wrap!
We had a great group of students for this year's Vital Link program with Fort Worth ISD. The students visited with several departments at #OfficialTRA, toured a wastewater treatment plant and built a watershed. #vitallink2017 #communitylearning #makingconnections
Check out this video produced by TRA’s Planning and Environmental Services department using data from NOAA and a host of other agencies.
It shows the relationship between Pacific sea temperatures and droughts in Texas. As surface temperatures decrease, so too does precipitation in the Southwestern United States. After a lag of one to several months during which soil moisture is exhausted, drought conditions can set-in. This is exactly what happened during the recent drought of 2011-2014. Watch towards the end of the video as the ocean temperatures rise and the drought in Texas breaks.
@fortworthisd students toured #OfficialTRA's Denton Creek Regional Wastewater System today! #vitallink
Flushing non-dispersibles overwhelms collection systems causing clogs and sewer overflows. #OfficialTRA's pretreatment program is working to collect more extensive data. Check out the video below to learn more. #NoWipesinthePipes

Not only would you suffer without water, so would plants and animals. No water for your plants? You would have to improvise. #ValueWater #OfficialTRA #plants #water
