Marvin Nichols Reservoir

Documents and Presentations


This page is a repository for important information about efforts to stop Marvin Nichols Reservoir. Most of the documents are in Adobe PDF format.  Also, many of the documents are quite large.  If you are on a dial-up connection, you will have to be patient. 
  • Marvin Nichols Reservoir Information Booklet  - The opponents of Marvin Nichols Reservoir have prepared a 25 page booklet that will give you a better understanding of why the proposed reservoir is a poor solution for providing water for North Texas.  It offers better alternatives than forcing families off of their land and flooding thousands of acres of rare bottomland hardwoods
     
  • Quick Fact Sheet - Here is a one page fact sheet about Marvin Nichols and why it is not needed.
     
  • Map of the reservoirs in northeast Texas. This map shows an outline of Marvin Nichols.  It is a bit hard to read, but you can find the outline of Marvin Nichols just south of Clarksville, between the county names Red River and Titus.
     
  • Mitigation map.  This map shows how big Marvin Nichols is compared to the D/FW Metroplex.  It also shows how much land the potential mitigation area covers.
