rain harvestingThe Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas adopted an ancient conservation practice to solve a modern-day problem. Tribal members teamed up with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Southern Plains Climate Hub (SPCH) and the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) to learn a unique way to address extreme drought that placed extra strain on area lakes and groundwater levels. The intergovernmental union demonstrates the positive outcomes of a successful partnership that benefited members of the tribe.
