San Antonio River AuthorityIn 1917, the voters of Texas, recognizing the necessity of developing
and conserving the State’s water resources and inspired by devastating
floods of 1913 and 1914, passed a Constitutional amendment allowing the
Legislature to create special purpose political subdivisions of the
State to serve regional areas, generally coincidental with river basins
and to be generally known as river authorities.
SARA, created in 1937, is one of many
such active river authorities in the State of Texas. Its jurisdiction
covers 3,658 square miles - all of Bexar, Wilson, Karnes and Goliad
Counties.
