Texas HB68 mandates a study on the costs of developing flood infrastructure across the state.

Texas HB68 requires the Texas Water Development Board to conduct a comprehensive study on the costs of developing flood infrastructure in Texas. The study will analyze various flood mitigation strategies, including expanding artificial drainage systems, restoring natural drainage features, and implementing regional flood water detention facilities. It will also evaluate the return on investment for these strategies, establish projections for future flood mitigation costs, and develop a cost heat map.
