Groundwater Rights | March 2, 2012


Watch March 2, 2012 | Groundwater Rights on PBS. See more from Texas Week.

The limits were placed to protect a shrinking water supply that is available to a growing number of Texans. Now the debate begins on property rights versus common good and is there a way to protect both.
