The City of Wimberley Council has opened a public hearing on the Transportation Master Plan. Public Comments will continue to be accepted until December 1 at the next City Council Meeting where agenda items include the public hearing and discussion and possible action on the Transportation Master Plan.The intense drought of 2022 reminds us that our groundwater supplies are finite. Careful planning must include discussion of transportation infrastructure but also development areas, conservation lands, and water supply, demand, and protection. The Watershed Association submitted public comments that suggest removing roads through undeveloped areas, establishing a Hill Country Roadway designation with setbacks and construction guidelines, and updating the plan to reflect community environmental protections--not just carrying projects forward because they were on an outdated plan.Transportation, development, and water issues are all connected. Please consider voicing your thoughts, comments, and concerns before the December 1 meeting. Details and the full Watershed Association public comment letter are available online at wimberleywatershed.org/2022/11/28/wimberley-transportation-master-plan-watershed-association-publ... ...

Learn how @Nomadic Beerworks contributes to responsible water management through various methods and initiatives throughout their entire beer production process!🍺 FRIDAY🍺 We’re making waves for the The Texas Brewshed Alliance with our newest IPA release, “RIPPLE”💧.We collaborated to further their efforts to ensure cleaner water for Texans, through water management & land conservation. .As a brewery, we have implemented water recapture techniques to reuse water at multiple stages in brewing and we have agreed to let a group of PhD students, working for the Brewshed Alliance, use our facility for research..In order to highlight how ingredient selection also can play a role in water conservation, Ripple IPA highlights the Neomexicanus hops, a native drought tolerant species which requires less watering and has a very pleasant fruit and spice note. .It’s a drop in the bucket, but we believe enough small ripple can create a big wave 🌊 🍻#atxbeer #beerstoabetterworld #conservation ...
