The Texas Water Development Board (TWDB), Texas Historical Commission, and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department are taking a summer road trip—and everyone is invited.
We’ll be on the lookout for two iconic and important Texas water symbols that help define the story of Texas water: windmills and water towers.
Windmills helped populate our great state by making water available in areas not supported by rivers and springs.
They remind us that the water beneath our feet continues to sustain vast swaths of the state now and in the future. Water towers often depict local civic pride and give us a window into the heart of a community. They remind us that our water supply is finite and must be used responsibly.
Join us by posting your own photos of #TXwindmills and #TXwatertowers to Instagram. We’ll be sharing photos and information throughout the month of July and featuring submitted photos, too.
Where will our virtual road trip take us? Hopefully all over Texas! Participate for the chance to win cool souvenirs (a.k.a. prizes); we’ll be holding a random drawing at the end of the campaign.
To participate:
- Follow @txwaterdevboard, @txhistcomm, and @texasparkswildlife on Instagram
- Post your photos of #TXwindmills and #TXwatertowers (make sure your profile is public!)
- Mention the location and tag us
The road trip starts July 1. More information is available at www.twdb.texas.gov/newsmedia/promotion/index.asp.
Show us that you’re #TXwaterproud!
