About us

TWCA is a nonprofit policy association for the Texas water industry, focusing on water supply and management. From drought to flood, TWCA works with its members to address the state’s greatest water needs. Created in 1944 when the term conservation was synonymous with water supply, TWCA has been dedicated to the state's water resources for 80 years. 

TWCA's membership is made up of diverse entities and individuals all connected to the water industry in some way. Members include: 

• River authorities
• Water districts
• Cities
• Groundwater conservation districts
• Flood and drainage districts
• Associations and nonprofits
• Businesses and industry
• Legal, engineering, and consulting firms

Our board of directors includes seven members each from nine different water use classifications: drainage districts, general & environmental, groundwater, industry, irrigation, municipalities, navigation & flood control, river authorities, and utility districts. 

The association is also affiliated with the National Waterways Conference and the National Water Supply Alliance. These affiliations help TWCA engage in water policy discussions at the federal level.
