Bluebonnett Groundwater Conservation District

The Bluebonnet Groundwater Conservation District (BGCD), established by the Texas Legislature in 2001 and confirmed by voters, is dedicated to the sustainable management and protection of groundwater resources across Austin, Grimes, Walker, and Waller Counties in South Central Texas. Its mission focuses on balancing private property rights with the conservation and development of groundwater, employing scientific methods to ensure preservation, recharge, and quality control of this vital resource.

Governed by a sixteen-member Board of Directors representing various interest groups, including agricultural, industrial, municipal, and rural water suppliers, BGCD aims to prevent subsidence, water quality degradation, and waste. The board members are appointed for four-year terms by the Commissioners Courts of the participating counties to ensure that diverse perspectives are included in the district's decision-making processes.
