As a rancher, I understand better than most the importance that water plays in our economy. Some folks say that desalination is the answer. I think it's a good start, but it's not a silver bullet. We have to take an imaginative and comprehensive approach to address our water problems. In addition to desal, we need to expand the mining of brackish water and remove legal barriers that the state has placed on private investment in water supply projects. Most important to us in West Texas, we need to give more local control to water development projects.
