Northeast Texans gathered Wednesday in Pittsburg to protest the proposed Marvin Nichols Reservoir, a $7 billion project aimed at supplying water to Dallas-Fort Worth by 2050. Critics, including local leaders, warn it would destroy 200,000 acres, harm the timber industry, and displace families. Many argue alternative water sources like Lake Texoma should be considered. Meanwhile, the Region C Water Planning Group says engineers are exploring other options for future water needs.
