FORT STOCKTON, Texas (KOSA) – Located 99 miles from Midland, Belding Farms, a 60-year-old pecan orchard in Fort Stockton, is making significant strides to safeguard its groundwater supply. The farm recently petitioned the local groundwater district to create a mitigation fund. This mitigation fund would be used to help offset potential negative impacts on water wells as a result of declining aquifer levels which are driven by increasing water exports.
