Texas HB1501 directs the Texas State University Meadows Center for Water and the Environment to study the feasibility of seawater desalination plants.

Texas HB1501 mandates the Texas State University Meadows Center for Water and the Environment to conduct a comprehensive study on the feasibility of establishing seawater desalination plants along the Gulf Coast. The study will evaluate methods to incentivize the creation of these plants, research international desalination plants, and identify best practices and potential issues, including financial barriers. Additionally, the study will explore environmentally sensitive and cost-effective methods for disposing of brine concentrate, including its potential use in nuclear energy production.
