The Bois d'Arc Lake Water Supply Program in Bonham, Texas by Freese and Nichols is one of ACEC’s 2024 Engineering Excellence Award winners. Facing some of the most explosive population growth in the U.S., the North Texas Municipal Water District needed a new, long-term water source added to their system to operate in concert with their smart water management and conservation efforts. The main elements include a 2-mile-long, 90-foot-tall earthen dam and 16,641-acre reservoir; a treatment plant and transmission systems that include two huge pump stations and 60 miles of pipelines for raw and treated water; and multiple sites of forested and emergent wetlands, grasslands, and stream restoration, including planting of 6.3 million trees.
