Agricultural Advisory Committee

The Agricultural Advisory Committee is a standing customer advisory committee which is established by the Board of Directors to be advised on matters involving the GCWA Canal Systems that provide water for irrigation purposes in Galveston, Fort Bend, and Brazoria Counties. Active farmers who have contracted for irrigation water with the Authority at least once in the previous three years may vote among themselves and select five farmers as their representatives to the Agricultural Advisory Committee. The names shall be submitted to the Authority as their official representatives. Each representative shall serve at the pleasure of the appointing farmers and shall serve until the appointing farmers appoints a successor or notifies the Authority that a representative will no longer be their representative. The Agricultural Advisory Committee may advise the Board regarding the quantity of interruptible stored water needed for the upcoming planting season.
