About Us

The Kerr County Water Alliance (KCWA) was formed in July 2023 in response to concerns over the ongoing severe drought and extreme weather conditions.  The Alliance – given limited water resources in the city, county, and state – will focus on developing policies and practices to manage sustainable growth. 
 
Our membership represents the county; as a group of concerned citizens with diverse backgrounds and interests, half live in the City of Kerrville while the other half live in Kerr County.  We have organized ourselves into a working group, that will develop policies, market our ideas, and raise awareness in our community.

Our Challenge

As the county faces increasing drought and a growing population, we must find ways to ensure water resources, both ground and surface water, are protected—for our communities today and the generations to come.​​

The Mission

Our mission is to raise awareness in Kerr County about the sources, limitations, and quality of regional water resources, and advocate for solutions that promote water conservation.​

The Vision

 

Our group envisions a future in which every county resident recognizes the importance of protecting our water resources, and the waters of Kerr County are managed for long-term sustainability. We hope to achieve this vision via community outreach and evidence-based advocacy.
