Reservoirs have rebounded from critical levels, but an emergency order absolves the city of requirements to resume releasing water for the Nueces River Delta.

Activists gathered nearly 13,000 signatures on a petition to levy fees on chemical plants and refineries during drought.

The Nueces River of South Texas flowed at twice the rate of Niagara Falls last week during the region's second flood disaster in two years.

A judge will hear arguments this week in an $80 million dispute over the Texas city’s water rates for chemical plants and refineries.

Stubbornly unrealistic assessments of the region's reservoir system turned this year's drought conditions into an emergency.

Officials from the Nueces River Authority collected millions of dollars from cities and utility districts near San Antonio and Austin before they partnered with an Israeli desalination giant.

For the retired shrimper, the 8,000-mile trip to Formosa Plastics' annual shareholder meeting in Taipei was part of a strategy of being relentless.

In April, one of the city's three reservoirs received its first inflows in eight months. But narrowly avoiding an immediate disaster doesn't mean that Corpus Christi has solved its water crisis.

Authorities in Sinton won’t confirm or deny Corpus Christi’s suggestion that the small town is hoarding its precious groundwater for data centers. Across Texas, a booming buildout of server farms is adding strain to water resources that are already stretched to their limit.

Small towns around Corpus Christi worry where they'll fall on the pecking order if the region's water runs out.
