The population of the North Texas Region is expected to double by 2060. Population growth drives the need for a clean and reliable water supply.

Tarrant Regional Water District (TRWD) (George W. Shannon Wetlands Project, in partnership with Texas Parks and Wildlife Department’s Richland Creek WMA) and North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD) (East Fork Water Reuse Project and the John Bunker Sands Wetland Center, in partnership with the Rosewood Corporation) worked together with Alan Plummer Associates to create innovative, efficient, and sustainable approaches for the natural filtration of water through the development of constructed wetlands.

Combined, the projects create over 4,000 acres of wetland and supply raw water for approximately 3.8 million people in North Texas. In addition, the wetlands provide a wide array of ancillary benefits which include: optimal habitat for wildlife—including hundreds of avian species, educational and research opportunities for the community and schools, and recreational opportunities—including bird watching, fishing, and hunting, that provide a
positive economic impact for the region.

If location and planning permits, a constructed wetland is a cost-effective alternative to building a new reservoir and pushes back the need to construct additional water supply projects.
