THE BATTALION
Water levels may reach critical stat«
Monday, Septemb
By Brian Ruff
T/je Battalion
Ninety-seven percent of all water is
found in the oceans, leaving 3 percent
in the form of fresh water for human
consumption. However, 99 percent of
freshwater is in the polar ice sheets or
in deep, unreachable aquifers. This
leaves less than one-half of 1 percent
of fresh water for human use.
“On a global scale, there appears
to be enough water for all of us,” said
Dr. Jurgen Schmandt, a University of
Texas-Austin professor, in a press re
lease. However, Schmandt went on
to say that though there appears to be
enough water, the amount of fresh
water available to an average person
in 1950 was twice the amount avail
able today.
Gerald North, head of the atmos
pheric science department, said in a
press release that there are great un
certainties about the future of water.
“It is clear that Texas will experi
ence a warmer climate in the next cen
tury,” he said. “Water will be scarce
and, therefore, more expensive.”
Texas’ climate, weather influ
ences, water quantity and quality and
the public’s role in water planning
were addressed by water experts as
part of the Water for Texas: 2000 and
Beyond conference this weekend in
the Memorial Student Center (MSC).
Senate Bill 1, which provided
the framework of many of the is
sues, was one of the hot topics. The
bill, enacted in 1997, divided Texas
into 16 distinct regions and
changed the way water conserva
tion was discussed and researched
before being presented to the Texas
Water Development.
Valeen Silvy, of the office of grad-
<£6
Agriculture is the
largest user of the
water resources in
the state, so the
conference was
very important to
the field.”
— Allan Jones
assistant vice chancellor of
agricultural and life sciences
uate studies, said the bill changed the
planning from a technical issue to a
sociopolitical issue.
“In the future, the regional water
boards will start to reach out to their
constituents, who will demand that
they be heard,” Silvy said in a press
release. “Senate Bill 1 represented a
real paradigm shift because it turned
the planning process from a highly
technical issue to one that has to take
into account political and socioeco
nomic considerations.”
Instead of being headed by a tech
nical team, the bill brought together
consultants from various interests to
present solutions to the Texas Water
Development Board.
“The bill increases public aware
ness of the water situation and is just
the start of the process of assessing
Texas water,” said Allan Jones, as
sistant vice chancellor of agricultur
al and life sciences at Texas A&M.
Ronald Kaiser, a recreation, park
and tourism science specialist with
the Texas Agriculture Extension Sta
tion, presented the water manage
ment strategies for the 16 regions.
“While Texas’ surface water re
sources are limited and its ground
water resources are being depleted,”
Kaiser said in a press release, “its wa
ter needs are growing. In order to
meet projected water needs, Texas
must plan to use a combination of
‘demand management,’ supply de
velopment, conservation, reuse and
recycling strategies.”
The Ogallala Aquifer, serving the
Texas Panhandle, and the Edwards
Aquifer, providing most of south-
central Texas water received atten
tion at the conference. To assess the
the quality of the water, results of
studies were shown that traced the ef
fect of herbicide and fertilizer de
posits in streams and rivers across

Motor vehicle deaths account for more deaths in the
United States than deaths by natural disaster. A male is
twice as likely to die in a motor accident than a female,
but a female is twice as likely to be injured.
Getting onto the road is becoming more of a hazard
than a convenience. To combat motor vehicle accidents,
the Bryan-College Station Convention Bureau and the
Texas Association of Accident Reconstruction Special
ists (TAARS) are observing crash tests at A&M during
the World Reconstruction Expo 2000 (WREX2000), the
largest conference on motor vehicle collision investiga
tion and reconstruction ever held.
The purpose of the expo, which is geared toward en
gineers and law-enforcement officials, is to investigate
and reconstruct motor vehicle accidents, said Conrad.
Dippel, chairman of the steering committee.
“Our goal is to try to save lives by reconstmcting the ac
cident,” he said. “That helps us decide on what to do next.”
Dippel said by reconstructing the accident, experts can
evaluate and make decisions on what can be done to pre
vent similar accidents. Anti-lock brakes and other safety
features have resulted from accident reconstruction.
“If you can’t tell now how an accident happened, then
you can’t fix it,” Dippel said.
A new development to be revealed at the conference
is the display of the Intelligence Transportation Systems
for Commercial Vehicle Operations (ITS/C VO) technol
ogy truck. The ITS/CVO is a 48-foot trailer that has ex
pandable sides.
George Black, a member of the National Trans
portation Safety Board will be the keynote speaker for
the ITS/CVO presentation.
In addition to the main event, there will be three
car crashes and possibly 20 motorcycle crashes, Dip-
pel said. Crash-test dummies will be placed inside the
vehicles.
Dippel said A&M was chosen by TAARS as the expo
site because of the amount of room available both on
and off campus, and because the A&M law-enforcement
groups have been supportive.
Specialists from Belgium, Brazil, Canada, the Unit
ed Kingdom, the Netherlands, Germany, Hong Kong,
Australia, New Zealand and Puerto Rico are expected
to attend. The specialists are coming to the World Re
construction Expo to see how TAARS reconstruct and
investigate motor vehicle accidents, Dippel said.
“[The specialists] think we have a great program,”
Dippel said.
The conference will kick off today with sessions be
ginning at 9 a.m. Crash-test demonstrations will take
place Tuesday and Thursday at the Riverside Campus.
Motorcycle and barrier crash tests will continue
throughout the day Thursday.
Approximately 500 attendees and their families are
expected at the conference. WREX2000 is hosted by
TAARS and 21 other nonprofit organizations.
“This is one-of-a-kind, never-held-again event,” Dip-
pel said. “It is the first and only.”
The conference is a members-only conference and is
not open to the public.
