San Benito Wetlands Project - Phase II

Summary

Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service, Texas Water Resources Institute will restore the remaining ten ponds at the 165-acre water treatment property along the banks of the Arroyo and utilize them to water and treat nearby agricultural runoff before entering the Arroyo Colorado. Evaporation and utilization by vegetation will reduce the amount of fresh water impacting the hypersaline seagrass ecosystem in the Laguna Madre.
