The Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board administers the Texas soil and water conservation law and coordinates natural resource conservation programs for agricultural producers. Working with the state's local soil and water conservation districts, it aims to promote the wise and productive use of soil and water resources to support a clean environment and healthy economic growth. Its program portfolio includes preventing and mitigating nonpoint-source water pollution from agricultural and silvicultural activities, supporting a water supply enhancement initiative to expand surface and groundwater, and maintaining the state's network of flood control dams to reduce flood risk while protecting water quality and supplies. The agency is based in Temple, Texas, and operates with a small to mid-sized staff serving programs across the state. It was established in 1939 in response to the Dust Bowl and continues to administer conservation programs at the state level. It also advances ecosystem restoration along the Rio Grande through carrizo cane control and coordinates invasive species management through a state-level committee.
