    The first Navigation District was established in 1909, and there are now 24 Navigation Districts ; statewide.1 ; Navigation districts generally provide for the construction and improvement of waterways in ; Texas for the purpose of navigation. The creation of navigation districts is authorized in two ; different articles of the Texas Constitution to serve different purposes. Section 52, Article III, ; authorizes counties, cities, and other political corporations or subdivisions to issue bonds and ; levy taxes for the purposes of improving rivers, bays, creeks, streams, and canals to prevent ; overflow, to provide irrigation, and to permit navigation. Section 59, Article XVI, authorizes the ; creation of conservation and reclamation districts for the purpose of conserving and developing ; natural resources, including the improvement, preservation, and conservation of inland and ; coastal water for navigation and controlling storm water and floodwater of rivers and streams in ; aid of navigation. This section authorizes conservation and reclamation districts to issue bonds ; and levy taxes for those purposes. Generally, however, navigation districts are structured, ; governed, and financed in the same manner.
