State prepares to battle 'water-stealing' brush

SAN ANGELO (AP) Ð State agencies are preparing to wage war against West Texas brush, responding to a study that shows mesquite and juniper trees ''steal'' enough water each year to accommodate the city of Houston or 100 cities the size of San Angelo.

Stephen Brown, who retired in 1995 as San Angelo's city manager, wrote the executive summary of the North Concho River Watershed Brush Control Study.

''I've been involved in water all my professional life, and the days of pipelines and dam building in West Texas are over,'' Brown said.

Instead, many will collaborate on an effort to clear away many of the 130 million mesquite trees and 100 million juniper trees that rob almost 2 million acre-feet of water each year.

Brown now serves as a consultant with the Upper Colorado River Authority (UCRA) and assists state Rep. Rob Junell, D-San Angelo, with special projects like the brush control study.

''The study works hand in glove with both agencies, both with Rob and with the UCRA,'' Brown said.

''Rob instituted the idea of brush control (in the state Legislature), and the UCRA was successful in getting the grant ... to do the study. It's the first of its kind in the state in that it takes the entire watershed from start to completion to where it finishes at O.C. Fisher Reservoir.''....
