The Edwards Aquifer is more than a water source — it’s a living story that connects our past, present and future. It’s the reason settlers came to this area, and it’s the lifeblood of our growth. Our aquifer is a resource we can study and learn from. It’s an incredible wonder, and it’s why we’re here.
Dive into deeper discovery through education.
There’s so much to explore at the EAA Education Outreach Center. We’ve got a hub of interactive exhibits and hands-on activities designed to inspire a deeper connection to the water that sustains our region.

What does geology have to do with groundwater protection?💧 A whole lot, actually.
Laurel Torres, our Groundwater Regulation Manager, breaks it down - her team plays a critical role in protecting the Edwards Aquifer by making sure wells are properly permitted, safely constructed, and ...decommissioned when necessary. 🛠️
They use geologic maps, geophysical logs, and state well reports to understand how each well interacts with the aquifer. It's science, strategy, and stewardship in action every single day. 🧪🌍
