1. The Endangered Springflow Act: How the Endangered Species Act Influences Groundwater Law and Protects Springflow in Texas
2. Under the work plan, the Service must make a final listing determination in fiscal year 2014. The bird relies on woodland riparian habitat for nesting, and in Texas, it is often found in areas with springs or earthen ponds. The Service maintains that the decline of the Western Yellow-billed Cuckoo is a result of loss and degradation of riparian habitat. As there are no surface water projects in West Texas recommended in the State Water Plan, the authors chose not to discuss the Western Yellow-billed Cuckoo in detail. However, continued groundwater pumping and drought could reduce spring levels and stream flow;the Western United States and west of the Pecos River drainage basin in Texas, as "threatened" under the ESA.
