Statewide View
What TWDB and TWF see on top of every utility — the insight layer over the State Water Plan. A TWDB program, powered by Goldwater.
Demand–supply trajectory is the dominant driver — SWP shortage reaches 70% of demand by 2080; existing supply declining.
Recommended: New supply (desal, ASR, reuse, wellfields) — declining aquifer can't be conserved back.
- SWP need (2030→ 2080)
- 10,641 → 61,240 ac-ft
- Recommended capital
- $2.11B
- Population
- 263,800
Supply-led (desal, ASR, reuse, wellfields); conservation → 0 by 2070
Cost of delay: A declining aquifer can't be conserved back — every year of delay raises the supply bill.
What closes the gap
For City of Corpus Christi: the State's actions vs. the utility's, and the value to TWDB staff.
Fund, flag, coordinate, condition.
90,000 ac-ft/yr shortfall by 2080; targeted online 2030. Low-cost state financing is what makes the project pencil locally.
The 2025 refresh isn't on file — TWDB's existing oversight lever. No new authority required.
Supply spans a seven-county Coastal Bend supply footprint. A regional project spreads cost and yield further than City of Corpus Christi acting alone.
Per Abbott's June 2026 recommendations and data-center water reporting, a PUC/TWDB condition keeps a 500 MW campus from landing as evaporative draw on a stressed source.
File, conserve, recover, build.
Brings the plan current and unlocks state review — the single cheapest move on this list.
The cheapest acre-foot a utility owns — supply it never has to build.
Permitting, land, and local match for the state-financed build.
Within the utility's own CCN and permitting authority — the local half of the state condition.
Reservoirs sit at 13.7% with a Level 1 emergency projected this September. Demand reduction buys the ~4 years until desalination can come online — without it, the city hits emergency before its supply does.
Sequenced right — $30.7M in conservation to buy time, $5.84B in inland seawater desalination + reuse to solve it — the state funds less, and later. The cheapest acre-foot is the one deferred.
$50–70K/yr of continuous intelligence surfaces this years before a reservoir or aquifer forces a reactive scramble — and tells TWDB which of ~1,000 utilities the next Prop 4 dollar should reach first.
Cost of delay: ~$1B in scrambled projects, +50% city debt — the reactive scramble TWIN exists to prevent.
