Sugar Land sits atop three [[aquifers]]: Chicot, Evangeline, and Jasper. The Chicot and Evangeline Aquifers have been the primary source of municipal water for Sugar Land, Houston, Galveston and other surrounding areas. The Jasper Aquifer is the only one of the three that is not used to extract drinking water.<ref name="twdb.texas.gov">{{cite web|url=https://www.twdb.texas.gov/publications/reports/numbered_reports/doc/R155/R155_mainText.pdf|title=GROUND-WATER RESOURCES OF FORT BEND COUNTY, TEXAS : REPORT 155|website=Twdb.texas.gov|access-date=July 22, 2023}}</ref> Due to the rapid building of suburbs in the city and surrounding region, aquifer replenishment has significantly decreased.<ref name="twdb.texas.gov"/> The city government has enacted a program to manage the aquifers.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.sugarlandtx.gov/331/Groundwater-Reduction-Program | title=Groundwater Reduction Program &#124; Sugar Land, TX - Official Website }}</ref>
