Texas faces a growing water crisis as drought and extreme heat drain surface and groundwater reserves. No one feels it more than the state’s farmers, who depend on every drop to grow food, feed, fiber, and fuel. Farmer Braden Gruhlkey underscores the urgency: “Water is important to everybody, and without water you don’t have life. Humans are mostly water—and so are plants. It’s crucial in the plant’s lifecycle to have enough water to produce fruit and sustain life.”
