Relating to a study by the Texas Water Development Board on the costs of developing flood infrastructure in this state.

HB 210 requires the Texas Water Development Board to study the costs of developing flood infrastructure across Texas, focusing on areas where such projects are unusually expensive due to natural or logistical factors. The study must map "high-cost drainage zones," analyze cost drivers (like soil conditions, regulatory hurdles, and material expenses), and evaluate flood mitigation strategies such as expanding drainage systems or restoring natural features. It will create a visual cost map showing regional variations, project future expenses using updated weather data, and propose cost-effective solutions and funding options. The Board must submit a final report to the legislature by December 1, 2026, to inform future infrastructure planning.
