"We started these discussions and negotiations five years ago knowing full well that science and data were going to have to drive the decisions that we make. It's not an exaggeration to say that we assembled the best and brightest scientists, engineers, modelers, hydrologists, with which to build the data and information that we needed to make decisions about the long term management of the water resources of Southeast Oklahoma. It was sound science, the best science that we could assemble that drove the decisions that we made."
J.D. Strong
Executive Director, Oklahoma Water Resources Board
"Water is a very valuable resource so the idea of conservation shouldn't be overlooked either. I know in Oklahoma City, we've taken a lot of proactive steps to try to teach our citizens how to use water more wisely. I think it's a step in the right direction."
Mayor Mick Cornett
