Description
A plan to drill wells into an east Texas aquifer has led to angry public hearings, lawsuits, even new legislation lawmakers are trying to add to the special session agenda. East Texas residents say the wealthy businessman’s project would drain their water for his profit, while leaving their communities high and dry. In this episode of Y’all-itics, WFAA Senior Crime and Justice reporter Rebecca Lopez explains how an old law known as the “rule of capture” is at the heart of this dispute and why so many folks fear the outcome of this case could impact drinking water across Texas.
