Montague County Commissioners Monday received an update on the Upper Trinity Groundwater Conservation District and its hearings on desired future conditions.

Doug Shaw, general manager, told the court about the May 16 DFC public hearing in Granbury and the upcoming hearing in Bowie at 5 p.m. on June 20 in the Bowie Community Center.

Establishing the DFC is a state-mandated process that began in 2005 when each district in the state charged with joint planning and developing the DFCs for the aquifers.

A DFC is a quantitative description which represents an acceptable physical state of the aquifer or subdivisions at some point in the future. Shaw said in this case the DFC represents acceptable future water level declines in 50 years.
