Next week's summary will be skipped. I will be in China for the AWRA conference next week and since Twitter is blocked I won't be tweeting and that means no fodder for this post.
T. Boone Pickens - Oil Tycoon, Corporate Raider, Wind Energy Advocate, Groundwater Pumper, Erstwhile Water Marketer - died at 91 on 11 September. See here.
I met Pickens ("Call me Boone, son.") at an NGWA meeting in San Antonio (2005?) where he keynoted our Groundwater Summit. At the time he had just discovered the value of the groundwater beneath his Roberts County, TX, ranch up in the Panhandle. He spoke about his effort to provide his groundwater to whomever would buy it. While in San Antonio he would visit the city and others to try to sell his groundwater I think he wanted about $1200/acre-foot and he had around 200,000 acre-feet per year.
Why was he selling it?
The groundwater beneath his land was plentiful and suitable for irrigation but his land wasn't. Given Texas' Rule of Capture groundwater law, he was afraid that if he did not pump the groundwater, someone else would. So he did it to 'protect himself'. It was a fascinating tale although I think most if us (mostly groundwater scientists and engineers) were skeptical. I recall the part where he explained how he was going to alternate pumping by quadrants to give the groundwater time to recover. I think that's when some of the eyes started rolling. He even took some Q&A. It was a great experience and I enjoyed hosting him. I'll never forget his blue eyes. He looked you right in the face and I could feel his gaze burning a hole in the back of my head. It was also clear that he did not suffer fools.
Did he ever sell his groundwater rights? At the time I met him, he had not. The cities he had visited - San Antonio, the DFW area, San Angelo, El Paso, Houston, Austin, and others all declined. He had even tried some places n New Mexico. I guess it's still there.
But see Jesse J. Richardson's comment and this link to a 2011 newspaper article.
