This presentation involves a brief history of the Clean Water Act and how it operates under the Federalist system used in the United States. We will look at the specific elements of water pollution enforcement in Texas (known as Unauthorized Discharge), as they are found in Chapter 7 of the Texas Water Code. Special emphasis will be given to the broad definition of “Water in the State”, and how it differs from the Federal definition of “Navigable Waters”.

Looking for something new to read? Join us as we take a journey through the genres and explore all that reading fiction has to offer. Curious about fantasy? We’ve got you covered! Interested in trying out some mystery? We’ll clue you in to some good titles! Each month, we’ve chosen a book from a different genre that we’ll read and discuss.

In March, our book journey begins with the thriller genre. The book selection is First Lie Wins by Ashley Elston.

In April (Historical Fiction) we'll discuss The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead.

In May (Fantasy) we'll discuss Gods of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Moreno-Garcia.

Author Jonny Garza Villa will discuss their popular San Antonio based queer young adult romance novel, “Ander & Santi Were Here,” the inspiration behind the book, and how its themes resonate with our current social and political climate. Jonny writes contemporary young adult novels inspired by their own Tejane & Chicane and queer identities, including "Ander & Santi Were Here," their debut novel "Fifteen Hundred Miles from the Sun," and "Canto Contigo."
