Water Wars examines a real-life battle over groundwater rights in West Texas, following ranchers and farmers in Dell City as they become caught in a high-stakes dispute involving water access, local politics and powerful landowners.

Directed by Mario Mattei, the film explores how the conflict eventually reached the Texas Supreme Court and became part of a broader debate over groundwater regulation and property rights. Mattei shared with us, “This is a really important story.”

Quaid narrates the documentary and has said he was drawn to the story in part because of his own experience dealing with water rights while owning a ranch in Montana. Quaid said, “The story had me.” He continued, “I got so involved in the story, I had to do it.” He also added that he hopes the audience is entertained by the story and would ask themselves what they would do in the same situation.
