dc.description.abstractAddresses how T. Boone Pickens plans to use a fresh water supply district to supply water from the Texas Panhandle’s portion of the Ogallala Aquifer to a major metropolitan area in need, and provide alternative wind energy to that area. This comment explains the administrative regulations that a fresh water supply district must comply with and clarifies the other administrative agencies that a fresh water supply district must answer to in order to gain the ability to transfer groundwater from the Texas Panhandle to a metropolitan area. It explores the breadth and limitations on a fresh water supply district’s power of eminent domain as it will attempt to condemn property from landowners in Texas to lay a water pipeline from the Texas Panhandle to a metropolitan area. Finally, it explains how Pickens will be able to use his fresh water supply district to not only supply fresh water, but also to supply wind energy from the Texas Panhandle to a major metropolitan area.en_US
