Wildlife Refuge or Lake?

The City of Dallas and the Texas Water Development Board have filed suit against the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service to block the designation of the Neches Wildlife Refuge. The City and Board would prefer to construct a reservoir at the site on the Upper Neches River. Environmental groups argue that there would not be any need for the reservoir if the Dallas Water Utility customers would reduce their per capita water use by just one percent, saving approximately twice the water that the reservoir would provide.
