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.

Today we're back with Brent who's teaching us all about the EAA's stunning 151-acre Field Research Park! 💧🌿
At the Field Research Park, we study how water makes its way into the Edwards Aquifer, how it flows through the system, and why protecting it is essential, not ...just for the people of South-Central Texas, but also for the endangered species that depend on it every day. 🐟💙
This hands-on experience gives us a powerful look at the science and stewardship behind one of our most important natural resources. 👏

Big thanks to Bill Taylor from KENS 5 & Kens5.com for sharing the 14-day weather forecast with us!🌤️ We’ve got a small chance of rain this weekend, and it looks like cooler temps are on the way, dropping us into the mid-80s by the end of the month!🍂☔️
Even with cooler ...weather ahead, our rain chances remain low, so let’s keep doing our part in conserving water to help protect the Edwards Aquifer!💧
💧 Why We Love What We Do!
At the EAA, our staff are the heart of everything we do, and we wanted to share what makes their work so meaningful. From protecting our groundwater resources to exploring the intricate aquifer system, every day brings new challenges and rewards. 🌊
...We asked some of our team what they love most about their jobs, and the answers were inspiring:
➡️ Understanding the aquifer system and seeing how it supports our communities.
➡️ Working with an amazing team of passionate, dedicated colleagues.
➡️ Being out in the Hill Country, surrounded by nature and wildlife.
➡️ Protecting the groundwater resource for today and future generations.
It’s this combination of learning, teamwork, nature, and stewardship that makes the EAA such a special place to work. 💙
