      H.C.R. No. 128       HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION          WHEREAS, The Harris-Galveston Subsidence District is marking   the 50th anniversary of its founding in 2025; and          WHEREAS, Established in 1975 by the 64th Texas Legislature,   HGSD was created to address the issue of subsidence, or the lowering   of the land's surface due to groundwater withdrawals, in Harris and   Galveston Counties; with their location along the Gulf Coast, the   counties have been predisposed to sea level rise and   weather-related issues; therefore, changes in land surface   elevation can increase the region's risk of flooding and damage to   infrastructure; and          WHEREAS, At the time of its creation, the Harris-Galveston   Subsidence District served more than 2.2 million people, and today,   over 5.1 million individuals reside in the district's jurisdiction;   thanks to the dedicated service of its board and staff, HGSD has   successfully controlled subsidence through groundwater regulation,   research and monitoring, water planning, and award-winning   conservation programs; the district has also benefited from the   support of local and regional agencies and civic officials; and          WHEREAS, Over the past five decades, HGSD has played an   instrumental role in protecting the lives and property of area   residents from the significant impacts of subsidence, and it is a   pleasure to join in honoring the district on this special milestone   in its history; now, therefore, be it          RESOLVED, That the 89th Legislature of the State of Texas   hereby commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Harris-Galveston   Subsidence District and extend to all those affiliated with the   district sincere best wishes for continued success in their   important work; and, be it further          RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be   prepared for HGSD as an expression of high regard by the Texas House   of Representatives and Senate.     Paul       ______________________________ ______________________________      President of the Senate Speaker of the House                   I certify that H.C.R.
