Texas Water Supplies: Infrastructure, Scarcity, and Politics

Lynn Sherman (Partner, Jackson Walker) discusses water issues with Ed McCarthy (Partner, McCarthy & McCarthy)

As Texas experiences unprecedented economic and population growth alongside persistent drought cycles, the state faces a critical crossroads: how to secure enough water to power its industrial, municipal, and agricultural future. Join veteran Texas water attorneys and policy experts Lynn Sherman and Ed McCarthy for an in-depth conversation on the complex realities shaping Texas water security. Drawing on decades of leadership spanning major water rights transactions, pipeline development, regulatory policy, and groundwater governance, Sherman and McCarthy will unpack the multi-billion-dollar infrastructure gap, the political and legal battles driving water allocation, and the innovative strategies required to safeguard the state’s most vital resource.
